Remote management of database

trying to connect to remote MSDE database to manage it
--msde instance with DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 is installed and working.
--local connection works to confirm username and password
--firewall ports are configured correctly and listening
--remote telnet connection works to confirm ip and port #
--ASP page can connect and return results from query
but tcp/ip does not connect
any suggestions on how to fix/make a tcp/ip connection work ?TJS wrote:

Well, MSDE (which is a free desktop editiion) normally doesn't work for outs
ide connections(they
don't want you to use the free version as a real server :)),
but i remember that some time ago on a web site i've seen a trick to make it
work. Try googling.|||I searched for a solution before coming here.
