Firewall Problem

I have opened port 1433 on my firewall, but I am still not able to get
remote clients to connect via query analyser, or enterprise manager.
Are there other ports required to be opened ?Have you checked your remote clients to make sure TCP/IP sockets is the
default protocol? You may have to go SQL Client Network Utility or run
through a SQL Server ODBC System DSN (Control Panel | ODBC Data Sources) and
verify that on the user login credential page that the Client Configuration
that it says TCP/IP sockets.
I did look in SQL Server books online in the Network Libraries topic, and
read this
SQL Server uses UDP port 1434 to establish connections from SQL Server 2000
clients. This socket number is also reserved for SQL Server by Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA).
You can download SQL Server books online for free from MS
