If you can establish a UNC to the intranet server and there is a share set up then you can use a VFP source (e.g. \\XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\MyShare\MyDatabase.DBC). This requires multople IP ports to be open for this and may not work through some firewalls.

SQL Server is doable in kindof the same manner. You can specify the Server as some IP address and the ODBC driver will take care of it. Again, the necessary ports need to be open through your firewall (if applicable). The differenc ebeing that no shares need be set up because SQL Server speaks TCPIP directly.
