i couldnt get u clearly but if u r trying to develope a site in Internet using SQL Server & ...
after creating, development, test, upload & ... u'll only change [u]SERVER_NAME</u> in connection string.
Thats it! I hope i was right.

I have made it by using TcpChannel.
Server Code would be
TcpChannel channel = new TcpChannel (1099);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType (typeof(Form1),
                "Form1",
                WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);

Client Code Would be
TcpChannel channel = new TcpChannel ();
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel (channel);
Form1 keeper= (Form1) Activator.GetObject (typeof( Form1 ),
                "tcp://192.168.7.130:1099/Form1");
keeper.Add(textBox1.Text);


Where Add functin is of server.
If need to know further.I m ready to told anybody.

Connecting to a WAN based server will be no different than a LAN or local server. As long as you can access it and you don't have some weird router or VPN problems.

For MSSQL Server, use the System.Data.SqlClient namespace classes.
