I am still trying to determine why I have such slow performance from DNN on my site, and I would like to try a suggestion from the hosting service. I currently access sql server using the IP address of the server. They claim I could get better performance using the server name (by which, they mean the DSN name created with the database). I know that this is a somewhat deprecated way of connecting to datat, but I have not been able to determine the reason for my performance problem, so I need to check out everything. Can someone please tell me how I would alter the 2 lines in the web.config file to use a DSN name?

Thank you much!

in your connection string use "Server=servername" or "Server=servername\instancename", if there is a named instance. this is not deprecated AFAIK. you need to use database name and login data.

 Sebastian, sorry, but that sounded a bit cryptic to me. I don't fully understand what you are saying (and what is AFAIK?). Are you saying that a DSN can not be used? I tried changing the connections string  to:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Provider=MSDASQL.1;Data Source=dsn_name;Initial Catalog=db_name;User ID=****;Password=*****" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

but this did not work. Please explain further.

you need to use MS SQL provider to access the database, e.g. < add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=mydnndatabase;User ID=myuser;Password=secret" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" / >
