SQL connection string containing server name no longer connects since framework 1.1 installed.

Since upgrading to .Net Framework 1.1 I can no longer connect to my
local sql server using a sql connection string that contains the
actual server name (Error: SQL Server does not exist or Access
Denied). If I use (local) or localhost as the server name then the
connection is made. Does anyone know what caused this to stop working
with the installation of framework 1.1 and how I could resolve it?

Thanks in advance,

Terry

What happens if you use the Numeric IP Address?

Using the Numeric IP Address does not work either. Only (local) and
localhost allows the connection to be made.

Hi Terry,

Try omitting data source field in connection string.
