Nope, not possible.
It'd cause anybody to access your SQL Server, big security risk.
Could be done through LAN, but not through WAN.

If you are still into this...

First.. on your server... you must have a web server running. setup the status page on a url nobody would know.

Then.. on your remote server... php asp whatever pull the webpage from your server and display it. If you are good enough, you can cache it and pull it again if it's older than 5 minutes or something.

That's a good idea, but the chances are he'll be looking to avoid running a web server of any description on the Server PC.

Look into the Cassini project, it's an open-source HTTP Server written in C#. If you tried, you could probably get it to retrieve information from an app you programmed yourself & generate the HTML itself.

you can just setup a webserver of a different pc on LAN and setup map a map port for it so people will be able to see it. The rest u would just have to code it your self to display the stats you want.

and SQL Server has so many security risk anyway.
