My web host has moved my website from one server to another at my request.
The web application is .net and works with an sqlexpress database. Everything was fine on the old machine.
But following the move I can connect to the database using Server Management Studio Express. But the web application throws-up the following message:
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I am a liitle out of my depth here and my host is saying that the above is caused by a scripting error wheras it appears to me the copied sqlexpress databases need something doing to them.
I would be extremely grateful for a steer in the right direction.
Thanks in anticpation.

Is the correct network port open in the new webserver to connect to the database?
