Hello Everyone,

I am a ASP.NET newbie and been working on it to develop some web applications and trying to configure my application.
When ever i tried to get into ASP.Net web administration from my visual studio 2005 i just takes me to the home page and when i try to click on security tab the following message appears
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider
and to choose a newdata store when i tried on provider tab and clicked to test the avaliable default provider ASPSqlprovider it pops up the message
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
i tried changing the connection stings in machine.config file with no use
i just could not make SQL server work
and by the way i m using visual studio 2005 and SQL server 2000 client on my machine accesing the SQL Server 2000 server on a machine in network windows XP with IIS installed
i hope the experts help me in solving this problem
thanks
Lisa
