Hi there,

I am trying to redeploy my website in ASP.NET which uses a SQLServer DB.

The DB exists on the server but when I try to connect to the SQLServer with a SqlDataSource I get the message that the DB was not found and the Named Pipes-Provider, error: 40. There is no server in the Server name list. I got the server running and TCP / pipes are enabled.

I appreciate your help

Is it on the same server as the web? or is it different? if it's the same you could just make the datasource=localhost and if it's on a different server make sure you have the name spelled correctly or try using the IP of the server (assuming it's static).
