Thanks Ed, Tried both. The output of code is:
con = _mssql.connect(dbhost, dbuser, dbpasswd) error: SQL Server message 18456, severity 14, state 1, line 1: Login failed for user 'billw'. DB-Lib error message 10003, severity 2: Login incorrect. I see a very similar error message in the SqlServer logs (which I log into with the same user/pass that's failing above) noting that the request is coming from my IP and that the login failed for user 'billw'. I can't seem to telnet as you describe, or at least there is no answer - just a blank screen. It does seem that the request is getting there, just that it's being rejected. I tried the Domain Admin user/pass as well, no dice. The server is setup to receive remote connections. Thanks for the help, Bill.
