Just think about it: what's the difference for the server from what network it will be accessed?

Hi There,

You have mentioned that you changed your connection string, are you using Windows Auth to connect to SQL server if so, there are some in impersonation things needs to be carried out to explicitely get access to the database. If it is SQL Auth, its quite simple as that.

And sometimes, we cannot access sites using machine/domain name, so give it a try using IP of the host machine.

Let me know how it goes.
