Unable to connect to SQL 2K via VS.NET

Hi all,

As the subject says I'm having trouble connecting to SQL Server 2K via
Visual Studio.NET 2002 (VB). It tells me that SQL Server does not exist or
access is denied. I know that the server exists because its on the machine
I'm working on. There is no reason for me to be denied access. I am using
a trusted connection and access has been granted to the ASPNET account for
the referenced Database. I have been developing asp apps for years now I am
just moving to the .NET revolution so I do know how to connect to a database
via asp and there is nothing wrong with my connection string. I have to
assume that when I create an asp.net app in vs.net that the web.config file
is some how preventing me from accessing the Database. Is there some
setting that has to initialized in this file or even the machine.config
file? I have included the web.config file source below. Thanks for any
help
