What is the error?

The way I would do it is this:

1. Connect to the sql box from a desktop. This will tell you if your connection string is correct. Use this as a guide: http://www.able-consulting.com/dotnet/adonet/Data_Providers.htm#SQLClientManagedProvider

2. Using the connection string that works on your mobile device. This will tell you if you have connectivity problems with your device. It might be that you will not be able to connect using the server name. You might have to use the ip address of the sql server in the connection string.
