NOTE: We strongly
recommend migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005
or 2008. As Microsoft continues to move forward with SQL server
technology, SQL 2000 will fall further behind the standard. It is no
longer actively developed or updated, as it has been superseded by SQL
2005 and 2008. While we will continue to maintain our existing SQL 2000
servers, our
recommendation is to upgrade your SQL service to a more recent version
at your earliest possible convenience.
If you decide to migrate your SQL database we have a forum post on the steps needed to complete this process.
To connect to a remote MS SQL 2000 Server over the Internet using SQL clients (Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, etc.), you will need to use TCP/IP as your network library. To enable TCP/IP as the connection protocol, follow the steps below.
- Open the Client Network Utility Configuration (Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server -> Client Network Utility)
- Select the General Tab
- Make sure TCP/IP is on top of the list in the 'Enabled Protocols by order' box
- Click OK
