Hi I am working with a website right now that is on a Virtual Dedicated Server. According to the hosting company, the Windows Firewall doesnt work with this particular configuration. But I dont want to leave the SQL wide open to anyone who wants to try to connect. Is there a way to limit SQL Server connections to certain IP addresses like you can do in MySQL?

You can modify the default connection port, but I'd sooner configure it at an OS or external firewall than on the SQL instance. – Randolph West Nov 21 '10 at 5:40
I would love to, personally, but the host (GoDaddy) doesnt provide with those options. Apparantly I can get a firewall for a dedicated server but not a virtual dedicated server (GoFigure) – Goblyn27 Nov 22 '10 at 18:02
