<add name="PUBSEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.Pubs.csdl|res://*/Models.Pubs.ssdl|res://*/Models.Pubs.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\PUBS.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Unfortunately, we can't tell what your connection string should be, we don't have the information. You'll need to build it yourself. This is a handy reference: http://www.connectionstrings.com/[^]

More than likely the forms you will need are:

Data Source=serverNameOrIP;Initial Catalog=databaseName,;User Id=username;Password=password;

Which covers SQL authentication, or for windows authentication:

Data Source=serverNameOrIP;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Integrated Security=SSPI;

If you have a DB admin he/she should be able to give you the values in italics
