I have a server timout when trying to conect to a sql server remotely from the internet via app

I have an application that works locally but when I access the same url to access the database it times out.  What settings can I use or check to increase some timeouts.  I have had this problem before.

you need to check the query and tune it up accordingly

I am only able to modify the SQL server. not the code.  please bemore specific.  thanks.
is this on the connection or on running the query that the application times out?
please clarify
connection from what I can tell.

thanks
>connection from what I can tell.
you will need to be sure... adding error handler to give a clear message when exactly the error occurs...

now, if it's really the connection, did you check all the connection requirements?
* firewalls not blocking
* sql server allowing remote connection
* the login used is allowed
* if it's a non-windows login, are non-windows logins allowed in general
...
all the above are ok.  

remote timeout stttings? maybe?
or just a latency issue?

thanks
