Re: remote connection problem

Sorry for top posting. Replying from my phone and it does not allow
any other option. If I understand you correctly it works when you run
it on the same machine as the database server, but not when the client
is a different machine from the server? If that is the case then you
have specified the wrong host name in your connection string.
Localhost means "this machine". i.e. the machine that the client is
running on. So if you want to connect to another machine you must
specify that machine's name or address instead of localhost.
