SQL Server 2008
Hi,
Can you please share how you have solved the connection issue? I have SQL 2008 installed on Win 7 machine and want to run an application located on a laptop with XP pro OS, connecting to the data on the SQL server. I would prefer using windows authentication.
Thank you in advance

Since SQL Server is configured for Windows Authentication I am figuring (guessing) that SQL Server "sees" me as a "Guest" user. What do I need to change (in Windows Users or SQL Server) to make SQL Server 2008 allow the access?
