Have a copy of 2008 installed, and delighted with it. Everything is sweet by itself, using SSMS.

So far never had any connection from the outside world. I've been going crazy in circles trying to figure where the problem is. Port 1344. Set to TCP/IP or Shared Memory or Named Pipes - both worked fine internally. VIA is off.

Windoze XP and SQL 2008 Developer - SSIS, SSRS, SSAS are running fine on Intel Xeon 8-core, which is vmware on a Mac Pro. It has two independent ethernet ports - not sure if I can trust vmware - XP keeps moaning that the same IP address exists... this may be the main problem. I have each ethernet socket for the Mac and XP. My router assigned each one a different IP address. Both can browse the web. All Firewall is off.

Can't even achieve an ODBC connection using Excel on the Mac. I have the right settings. It times out.

Wondering if Developer Edition is only for direct interface? I know Enterprise scalability is not possible, but can I get a TCP/IP connection? External connections are enabled and not limited.
