Cant Connect to Sql Server

Warning extreme newbie.

I am trying to follow a .Net Walk Thru that connects to Sql Server. The SqlConnection, SqlDataAdapter, and DataSet all appear to be working properly, but when the web page opens I get a 'Sql Server Does Not Exist or Access Denied.'

Any ideas would be greatly apprieciated.

Is the connection string correct (i.e. username, password, server address, etc.) and do you have the correct permissions to access the database?

Connection Strings: I have used the one generated with the SqlConnection Object and I have modified it many different ways. Integrated Security on & off, By Server name/IP Address. Using a port number & using TCIP/IP. I have also tried my connecting to my local computer and the office server.

Database: I definitely have rights to the database.

Could the problem be how it is connecting, some sort of port disconnect? Could something be overriding my connection string?

Thanks.
