Trying to work with existing system in SQL Server2000. Brand new VB.NET project for reporting purposes. PDC is off of NT4 box.

When I connect I am using the sa identity and I fail :(

error comes back as "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. "

This is from the stack trace:

[OleDbException (0x80004005): [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.]

Is the problem that machinename/ASPNET is doing the conncetion, and they are not understood in the PDC back in NT4 days??

TIA
