Configuring Sharepoint Services on DMZ
We have an IIS Web Server running Windows 2003 Server. It is not part of the domain. Just a workgroup. It lives in the DMZ. We are trying to install Sharepoint services on this server and have it access the Sql 2005 server on the inside of the network. I've opened up the Firewall ports and such and believe ports 1620,1622 and such are working fine. When we run the installation wizard that creates the database and such.. it makes it to step 2. It created, I believe 3 databases, but failed with the following error in the log. I'm certain it has something to do with authentication or domain or firewall issues. The error starts with the ****** below.

This is not entirely true ----
Sharepoint also allows Database authentication as well as Windows - hence you can use an SQL account to access SQL server through a firewall.
From the Share Point Create New Web Application Page -
Database Name and Authentication
Use of the default database server and database name is recommended for most cases. Refer to the administrator's guide for advanced scenarios where specifying database information is required.
Use of Windows authentication is strongly recommended. To use SQL authentication, specify the credentials which will be used to connect to the database.
