I've uploaded a vb.net project to the site and am trying to revise/establish the sql connections. The 'test connection' succeeds in the Data Link Properties dialog, but then I am asked to re-enter the server name/user/password which fails.

I get the following error:
'Server does not exist or access denied'

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
