SQL Server does not exist or access denied Problem

[Sal]

I am new to ASP.Net and I am trying to to make simple SQLConnection to the
pubs database that comes with SQLServer2000.
I have attempted many things to try and resolve it. I tried adding ASPNET
user in the security section of SQLServer2000, and I also removed the XP
firewall on the machine.
My SQLServer2000 and ASP.Net development are on the same server and I can
even make a connection to the database through VS environment.
The following is my VB.net connection string:
Dim conn As New
SqlConnection(" server=.;truste d_connection=Tr ue;database=pub s")

Do you get an error?

Try server=(local)

And using Query Analyzer, you can check Windows Authentication and get in
ok?
