Sounds like you are using Windows Security on your SQL Server instead of
mixed mode. In this instance, it would take the logged in user and attempt
to log on to SQL as that person. YOu would then get this error.

ASPNET is not user on the machine and machinename\ASPNET is also not the SQL server instance.

That is the problem. Add this user logon to SQL Server

SQL server instance.

[Donald E. Hurley Jr.]

The ASPNET account is the default user for ASPNET.

Are you trying to connect to the database with Integrated security, or do
you specify a username/pass.

If you try to use integrated security and you have anonymous access turned
on, it will use the ASPNET account to try to connect to SQL Server. Try
specifing a UserName/Password.

IE.

packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source=dhurley3;persist
security info=False;initial catalog=Northwind

or

packet size=4096;user id=sa;data source=dhurley3;persist security
info=False;initial catalog=Northwind;password=pass;

Hope this helps.

Mandar:

In this case you have several options:

- use a "mirrored" local account on the SQL machine, meaning you'll
create an ASPNET account on the SQL machine, synchronize passwords for
the ASPNET account on the web server and SQL machine, and give the
ASPNET account the ability to login to SQL. There is a more detailed
description of how to do this in the following document:

Building Secure ASP.NET Applications: Authentication, Authorization,
and Secure Communication
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...SecNetHT01.asp

- run the ASP.NET worker process in the context of a user who can
access SQL

- use mixed mode authentication (pass a uid and password in the
connection string)

HTH,
