Solution 1

What does your code look like? Are you creating the database connection directly through VS? (eg adding it as a resource)

Solution 3

Before you continue, if its a MS SQL server, make sure that the "SQL Server Browser" service is running on the Server, plus make sure you can connect to the server using Management Studio. Check your firewalls! Otherwise its your code, post it!
