Wireless access to SQL server dabatase

sql server connect: I use an application in my office that utilizes an SQL
database. I have no problems using this program on my
Tablet-PC so long as I am connected to the network through
the local network connection (Cat5 cable). If I try to use
it through my wireless connection, I cannot. I get an
error message saying "Place - [CDBRecSetBase::Open]
General network error. Check your network documentation.
ConnectionWrite (WrapperWrite())."

Another example of my problem is that through the local
network connection, I can use Enterprise Manager to see
the tables in my database. When I try to do this through
my wireless connection, I am told that the server has been
disconnected, eventhough the circle next to the SQL server
icon has a green triangle inside of it.

When I right click on the SQL server icon, the
choice "connect" is not avaiable;
only "disconnect", "stop", and "pause" are available
choices.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Michael

If you are using named pipes, try changing to TCP/IP
protocol to see if that makes a difference. Also, check to
see if you have firewall enabled on the wireless connection.
And I'd also check the logs where SQL Server is running -
the event logs and the SQL Server logs. They may give you
more information on what exactly is causing the problems
with the connection.
