Asked By tnt

Hello,

I have a windows 2003 sp2 hosting sql 2005 Ent sp2.  I like to turn on
firewall.

Do use the exception to allow certain ports or do I allow the program to be
accessed.

I have clients on other machines connecting to his database server.  I think
name pipe is needed.  Not sure.

But I am not a security expert. Maybe it is better to ask in a security forum.

So, I downloaded the MSDE for SQL 2000 (which is msde2000a.exe), set my switches and off to the races.
