Thread: Windows Server 2008 firewall permission with SQL Server

    Windows Server 2008 firewall permission with SQL Server

    I installed SQL Server 2005 x64 SP2 on a Windows Server 2008 x64 Standard version. I installed the workstation portion
    of SQL Server 2005 on a Vista x64 system. When I tried to connect from the client, I got a SQL Server error 10060, could
    not connect.

    I went to the Windows Server 2008 and turned off the firewall and then could connect from the Vista client to the
    server. Can anyone tell me how to properly configure the firewall to allow SQL Server traffic?

    TIA Flomo

    Hello Flomo,

    Try to open port 1433 in the firewall and check this one:

    Hi Flomo,

    On the server:
    1. Open the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
    2. Right Click on onbound rules and select New Rule
    3. Create a Port Rule, Click Next
    4. Choose TCP rule and choose ports 1433, 1444. Click Next.
    5. Choose Allow the connection. Click Next.
    6. Choose the correct profile. By default all of them are on, but you might
    choose only to let domain machines access SQL... Click Next
    7. Specify a Name and a Description for the Inbound Rule. Click Finish
    8. Your rule should be created

    On client, make sure that the console is connecting over TCP/IP and you
    should be there.
