    Unhappy web application

    Hi,

    I tried to ran a web application (i did'n create it and unfortunatelly the person who created doesn't work in the same company anymore)
    from IIS and it seems to work but returns an error:
    An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL server 2005,this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.
    (provider:named pipes provider,error:40-could not open a connection to sql server).
    I use a sql server 2000, why it thinks i use sql server 2005?
    I think that it has to do with the WebConfig page and the user name.
    I tried to change it to the one i use for sql server 2000
    but it doesn' work either

    can somebody please help me?

    Which sql server the app connect to? Then go to that server and find sql version on it. If it's sql2k5, ensure sql server browser service is running.
