Hello,
I've got two machines in my domain. One of them is IIS Server (IIS 7 on Win2008R2Std), and the other one is SQL Server (SQL2005 on WinSrv2003). They're in the same subnet.
I've just established several webservices running on my IIS Server like http://iisserver/services/webservice.asmx.
I have a problem, that no webservice method can get data from a SQL Server database. If I turn off a firewall on IIS Server, then my webservices do get data from SQL Server database engine with no problem. But I don't want to leave firewall off. As soon as I put the firewall back on, no data from SQL Server database engine can be retrieved.
All over the internet I see answers "what firewall exceptions to allow on SQL Server", but I can't find a single article, "what firewall exceptions to allow on IIS Server".
Can you help me, what minimum exceptions I should create on an IIS Server?
As a last note, my SQL Server is running on a non-default static port, say, 1800. That means a SQL Browser service has to be accessed as well.
