I have an Linux server running Apache/PHP/MySQL. and I need to connect to another server running MSSQL server 7
THE POINT IS the only way I have to connect is throu ODBC connection because the network administrator only allowed me to connect thru port 1433 that ODBC uses..
I tried to make it direct connection, but this way uses many ports that the firewall won't allowed.. He said for security reasons that he can't open those ports to prevents hackers to use them ... do u think this is a true ? any advice what port the direct connection uses??? does it uses NetBIOS?
if he was right ... so I have to change to ODBC I heard about FreeDTS and iODBC, but I need some advice and notes to make it easy for me..
Please HELP.. and your valuable comments will be appreciated..
