Cannot connect SQL Server via Internet from Widows 2003 Server

I have a SQLServer 2000 connection problem from a Windows 2003 and Windows
2000 Servers. But it is no problem from other windows XP PCs. Any idea!!!
The Error Message is :
SQL Server registration failed because of the connection failure displayed
below.
ConnectionOpen (LoadNetlibs())Hi
You probably do not have the correct rules in the firewall, although opening
the ports may not be the best of things to do! Use of a VPN would provide
some protection.
For more about the rules needed see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287932
