Help! How to access another computer datasource if it is not connected to your network

Question

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if someone can help me on this.  I'm sort of new.  I have a webserver on one server and I have a database that is located somewhere else but the webserver does not have access to the database server.

I need to create something call messaging inorder for one computer to talk to another.  I need to get the datasource on my .net file to know where the database is at. 

on my development enviroment, it's fine because the development webserver and development database are on the same network.  for production it's a different story.  production webserver and database are not on the same LAN.

can someone help me please.  I greatly appreciate this.
