I did the same thing a while back. My first question is, do you want your SQL server to be accesible from the internet? Next is how is your network/internet configured (ex. Cable modem to router then to the computer with the SQL server)? If you use a router do you know how to access port forwarding and what port to forward? For my use it's port 3306, or you can use tcp view from Microsoft to see what port your SQL server is listening on. It's also a good simple way to see what connections your computer is using. You can get tcp view from here: TCPView for Windows
I'll be sure to help you as much as I can, and hopefully we can figure this out. Also, what are you using your SQL server for?
