title: Firewall Port 1433 not opening
body: <p>I  am using MS Server 2008 with MSSQL 2008-R2 as database server.</p>
  
  <p>Each time for some work i have to login to server via Remote connection.I tried to configure 
  the SQL Server remote connection on, followed the following steps....</p>
  
  <p>1.Created Inbound and outbound rules for tcp port 1433.</p>
  
  <p>2.In sqlserver configuration manager ,all is set for IP address and POrt no properties.</p>
  
  <p>3.Set the SqlServer instance for remote connections.</p>
  
  <p>But still its not working. </p>
  
  <p>Also when i checked port 1433 for tcp on local computer it is shown closed.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance.......</p>
