How do I secure the server?
I have sygate personal firewall, what Ports or links showld I block ?
you are talking about the obvious part of the security. should be obvious to everyone that not a single software or hardware firewall will solve every security problem you may have.
but the answer to your second question is: every port but 3300 and 3550
You need to block the SQL Server default port 1433 so that no one can access your server remotely. I would recommend to have Databases on Separate PC and host on separate PC so that your Database PC is secured cos you dont reveal its IP. What gets revealed is the Hosting IP!
how can I host on Separate server the DB?Quote:

you can setup your lan the way you want, just thing about it carefull, is not that hard and google is your friend. but since you dont have a fixed ip address, thats your FIRST security hole.Quote:
