So I am trying to connect a website to an SQL server database on the machine that is hosting the website.

I have managed to make the connection from my local application to a copy of the database also on my local machine.

I would assume, that when I deploy the web app to their server, that I just change the connection string in the web.config file. They supplied me with DSN, UID, and PWD variables but it seems to me I need more than that, or do I need something totalyl different?

Windows Server 2008 R2
SQL server 2008

What do I need to come up with the correct connection string?
