Remote server connection

We have a database on a shared SQL Server stored on our ISP's server. I can
connect to this via Enterprise Manager from our office, but when I try the
same from Enterprise Manager on my PC at home I get the following message:

A connection could not be established to MFSERVER.

Reason: SQL Server is not running or access denied.

Any ideas?

ThanksHi

There is probably a firewall blocking port 1433.
Check with your network administrators.
