REPOST: Re: internet connection to msde

You probably need to open up UDP on your firewall also. Here a link with
some information about connecting to SQL Server through a firewall:

Thank you everyone. After installing another instance of MSDE, following
some advise from this forum, I was finallly able to return a dataset from a
webservice I wrote. But I still think it reminds more of gambling than
science;-) Could even display MSDE data in my PocketPC application, connected
via GPRS! Great!
When I tried create a similar webservice on another computer today, I got
stuck in Visual Studio when I single stepped to conn.Open( ) which gave me
the exception message "Failed to login to myMachine\ASPNET".
My question: Why does VS try to login to an account that does not work?
How do I prevent this to happen? Why does it try to login to a non-existing
account?
I don't understand.
