If you have both sql 2000 and sql 2005 loaded on the same server one of them probably has an instances name. So if you sql server name is sqlserver1, only one of the sql servers can use that name the other one has to be an instance name. So I am guessing you know the name to one of the serves, but you need to figure out the name to the other one. Hope that helps. Ben

If you still want to use integrated security to access sql server you will need to do a few things. First set up a new app pool in IIS. Point your web app to use this app pool. Next create a network login for the app pool. Set the identity of the app pool as the network user. On the web server add the new user to the IIS_WPG group Make sure the user has the correct read and write rights to the directories that your web app are in. Finally make sure this network user has the correct rights in sql server so the web app will run. Hope this helps. Ben

Not complaining, just curious.

My application will be used by internal users and also users from outside. So, I cant use windows authentication. And the requirement is to use ISAPI Authentication. Any idea on how to implement this?

We dont install .Net 2.0 as seperate one and only upgrade 1.1 to 2.0. So no need to change the framework. Yes you are correct.

Now 3.0 is there. That can support all the classes available in 1.1 as well as 2.0. Hope you understood Close, but not quite - there are some pretty major differences between the versions, as my boss would tell you if he were here - he spent an age porting our app to 2.0 hehe "Knock me down, I'll get straight back up again, I'll come back stronger than a powered up pacman" (Lilly Allen / Kaiser Chiefs)

The name comes from C, where the function that holds the code for the main program is called "main", so the name has been around for at least 30 years. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;
