BDE connection

Is it possible to connect using BDE to a database on a remote server (not on a LAN). The database being used is MSSQL. Can the IP adress be given instead of the SERVER NAME ? This is not being done through a program. I find that this works in a LAN though. Is there any restriction here ? Any additional parameters to be given ?
