I have a website on a dedicated web server that can't communicate with a sql server 2000 database sitting behind a firewall. My website is written in asp.net 2 and c# 2 and port 1433 has been opened through the firewall to allow access. On the db server is an admin database set up to use asp.net authentication. I am running Visual Web Dev 2005 Express on the web server to test the application and initially I want to connect to that db and set up my app and asp 'admin' users. For that I would normally use the 'Website/ ASP.NET Configuration' menu option within the IDE. At the moment I just get a connection error:
Server Error in '/asp.netwebadminfiles' Application.

Now which server is the problem on - the web server?? What do I need to do to connect with this db? Help!

Look at the IIS logs to see what request generated the 401.2 result code.
