New Lynksys Router blocking access to SQL 2k

I have a new Wireless G router configured by a client for their VPN. They said to hook it up to my existing router. It works great if I try to connect to something on the VPN, Informix, SQL no problem.

I have my own SQL 2k on the same network locally. I can access the server with Maping tools but I can not get an ODBC connection to work either using Windows Authentication or SQL authentication. Tried my old router and it worked fine.

I figured it would not work while I was connected to the VPN, but thought I should be able to access SQL server when not on the VPN. Is this a port issue? Never had to deal with this.

Thanks

make sure that you can access port 1433|||Take a look at all the rules implemented in your new Linksys router and check the port for SQL Server (1433 or 1434) if they are not being blocked.|||

Bass and Joey,

The client supplied Router is password protected. They gave me a laptop and router and asked that I plug their rounter into my existing router. I use their laptop to VPN to their site. I have only one cable to link the new router to the existing old router which is located in another office.

I got the WEP key so I could access the new router from my own laptop. Anyway I have to call their IT support team to get access. I have a feeling they won't want to open port 1433-34.

We will see.

Thanks for the info.

Mike
