typically it's something obvious once you see it, but the easiest way I've found to debug these is to create a UDL file (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra...(v=vs.71).aspx), and use the wizard to connect to the database. Once it's successful open the .udl file in notepad and you will see a valid connectionstring that you can then use to update both the connectionstrings in dnn's web.config file

open the udl file again and click the provider tab and select "Microsoft OLE DB provider for sql server" and then check the udl file contents.
