Answer Wiki:
If you have assigned a public ip address to your SQL Server than just connect to it with the tools you have. You would need to connect to the ip address, not the machine name. If the SQL Server has a private ip then you will not be able to connect to it by simply opening the port. Charles Deaton www.SQLSIG.org

Not the most elegant solution, but if the SQL server is behind the firewall you could run Windows Terminal Server, PCAnywhere or even use a GotoMyPc type service. Connect to the actual server or another workstation that is setup with enterprice manager, I would recommend the latter.
