The target database is located on a LAN with a local IP. The local IPs are distributed by my modem’s DHCP server and is something like 192.168.1.xxx. I’ve already redirected port 1433 to the machine which holds the sql server (192.168.1.xxx) and I can reach to it with a SQL Management Studio connection, using my WAN IP from the source machine. However, when I write my WAN IP as the Copy Database task’s target, it returns an error which indicates that connection cannot be established.

Might I be missing the writing convention for the target? I tried the following (my WAN IP is 78.187.xxx.xxx and my target MSSQL Server’s name is EXP32):

78.187.xxx.xxx
78.187.xxx.xxx\EXP32
\\78.187.xxx.xxx
\\78.187.xxx.xxx\EXP32
