Why on earth would you want to do that? You're adding an unnecessary layer
of processing and file IO to accomplish the same thing. All a DSN does is
store information that you can put right into your Connection String. In
addition, it uses ODBC, which is a wrapper for OLE DB, and using the native
SQL Data classes is much faster.

No - the SQL Server can exist anywhere. If you refer to it by name, then the
DNS system will resolve the name to the SQL Server's IP address;
alternatively you can specify the IP address of the SQL Server in your
connection string.

Things are different in .NET. Your connection string won't work. check out

I have my connection string working fine.
The reason i was thinking of DSN is because I have ran into a scenriao that
the SQL server name changed so I had to make a change to my code then build
it back out to the server. If i had a DSN I would only have to change the
pointer of the DSN on the web server without making changes to my code then
