Connecting SQL Server 2000 Database over Internet

How to connect SQL Server 2000 Database over internet?
I have written the code as follows:

db.Provider = "SQLOLEDB; Data Source=xxx.203.xxx.135,1433; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=accinv; User Id=sa;"
db.CommandTimeout = 0
db.Open

But getting the message "SQL Server does not exit or access denied"

I have Windows XP as OS and Firewall OFF.
