Hello,
You should NOT allow SMB through Firewall!
Reconfigure your SQL server to use TCP/IP only on port 1433, this is done in
the Client Network Utility (available fronm Start -> Program -> Microsoft
SQL Server 7.0). Never, never allow those terrible SMB packets through your
firewall!
Regards,
Axel

SQLEM seems to use RPC over Named Pipes (over SMB) to talk to the server.
