    Hi Forum,

    Heres the scenario.

    I have VS2008 and SqlServer Enterprise Edition installed in my machine.

    I connect to the database inside the same machine using VS2008.

    I opened the project my client gave me inside vs2008.

    When I ran the project, the it runs.

    but the aspx page to be displayed shows error like

     'Problem in Connecting Database. error " SQL Server does not allow remote connections." '

    I have db and vs in the same machine ( no remote machine involved).

    Why does this error came?

    How to Rectify it?

    Any guidelines are deeply appreciated.

     

      

    Regards,
    Naveen

    Check your web.config file and make sure that the database connection string doesn't refer to a remote machine...

    Shame - that is  aproblem I have runinto myself before now...

    You say that the project works in VS, but not when you run it from IE?

    that would maybe imply that hte SQL server is treating ISS as "external"?!?
