asp_database_setup thread: Re: Data Source Name not found.
Go to Internet Services Manager in Administrative Tools, and expand your web site. In the right hand side of the screen you should see a list of files in the site. Right click on the required file and select properties. Click the file security tab and Anonymous access settings are available in there. Hope this helps.
