Hi Patrick,
I'm no expert, they're probably off today <g>, so in the mean time perhaps this will help:
my connection string entry in both app.config files for integrated security is
value="server=Pluto;Integrated Security=True;database=Northwind;"

Pluto being my server running one instance of MS SQL. I also had to ensure the desired user had permissions of course.
