I have two PC's. One is slow, and has access to a SQL Server via a VPN. The other is fast, but cannot connect to the SQL Server.
Is there a way I can run the queries from the fast PC, and use the slow PC to bridge the connection to the SQL server?

Can SQL Server Express be accessed from another computer running SQL Server Management Studio across the network? Assuming there are no network firewalls etc.
Yes, you can. But remember that you must accept open to remote or tcp/ip connections
I have some code that establishes a connection to SQL server using pyodbc. However, soon the SQL server will only accept connections from a VPN. I need to therefore modify the connection to go via a VPN.
How can I achieve that pyodbc?
The VPN connection will need to be established first, this isn't a problem that can be solved directly by pyodbc.
So we have a local network at work that connects to the internet and can be accessed remotely from home. Every now and then the internet connection drops even though the local network is still functional. This prevents users from accessing the network remotely.
We need to have a backup computer which can be remotely accessed through a different internet connection (maybe a mobile stick or something). I am wondering if it is possible to have such a system setup where the computer is connected to the local network and at the same time use a different adapter to connect to the internet. The end result would be to have the remote user access network resources.
Any help would be much appreciated? I am thinking that the computer will treat the two connections as separate but I hope that I am wrong.
If you are using windows server then you can do that using routing and remote access protocol.
You can also use Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway.
If you are an open source fan, then go for a PFSence comunity edition which is available on Linux platform.
There are many other options as well. if you can let me know which platform are you planning on then I can give you more details.
If I have a web server trying to communicate to a SQL Server through a firewall, and the firewall is completely closed both ways (inbound and outbound), I know I have to open port 1433 from the web server to the SQL Server in that direction.
However, do I need to open any ports from the SQL Server to the web server for the SQL activities to work? Does SQL Server respond back with any other ports?
I have three systems, Sql Server Express only on one. I would access sql server on main pc from the other two to enter data into a database using a winform application. all three pcs are on LAN. what do i have to do establish connection with sql server on the main pc from the other two pcs? That is, how do i network my sql server express so that it is installed only on one machine but used by two other machines also. What protocols would i have to turn on or off?
All 3 pcs are in a same room. Also, sql remote connection means connecting via internet?
