It didn't work. But I think I would have giggled if it did so it was worth the try.

Here is my connection string (only the IP address has been changed to protect my identity <s>):

Data Source=123.123.123.123\Alliance;Initial Catalog=QuantumCoin;Integrated Security=False;User ID=EinarKvandahl;Password=EinarKvandahl;Connect Timeout=15

>Just for giggles try disabling alltocols except TCP/IP.
