Hi all, I would like to ask for some help regarding separating the asp.net webserver and the sql server. I have created an asp.net application for a certain company. Initially, we installed both the iis and sql server in a single machine. Not too long ago, the machine had some hardware problems, and management has decided to purchase new servers, for both asp.net and sql server.

I downloaded the personal website starter kit and when I run it I get the error shown below. I found a way of using Launch Surface Area Configuration that is supposed to fix the remote setting but I tried it and still get the error. I do not have SQL Server 2005 installed (thought I did once). I do have SQL Server 2008 installed. I don't see anywhere in the code where SQL Server 2005 is referenced.
