You have to change the connection string to point to the sql server.

All what you have to do is:

Enable a server network protocol in SQL Server, then the other computers will be able to connect to that server.
Enable or Disable a Server Network Protocol[^]
Create single account on MS SQL server with minimum privileges to grant acces to modify database data (not objects!)
Use SqlConnection[^] to connect to the instance of MS SQL Server
Create SqlCommand[^] to get/modify data.
That's all!
