Cannot connect to SS 2000 across Internet

I am attempting to connect to a named instance of SS 2000 across the
Internet using Enterprise Manager. The machine running SS is behind a NAT
router. According to BOL I should be able to connect if I forward the TCP
port that SS is using (1061 in my case) and UDP port 1434 to the SS
machine. However, I cannot get this to work.
When I attempt to register the server in Enterprise Manager I use the WAN
IP address of the router as the server name. However, registration fails
with the message "SQL Server does not exist or access denied."
I cannot believe that I am the only person trying to do this. Can someone
tell me what I am missing?

I believe this was addressed in the other ng.
