How does you connection string look like? You can rename your actual user id and password to xxxx.
Are you using an instance name in your connection string? You mentioned you are connecting via SQL Server Authentication. Have you increased the CONNECTION TIMEOUT? The default is 15 seconds. To know for sure you're connecting via .net the same way you are in mono, add this to your connection string for running on .net: ;network library=dbmssocn Then if you get the same thing on .net as you do with mono, then you know its something with connecting via TCP/IP. And if you were using a named instance, then you may need to open up access to UDP port 1434. Here is an entry from my blog about this. http://www.mfconsulting.com/danmorg/blog/archives/000145.html Here is the msdn doc on SqlConnection.ConnectionString http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring.aspx --- Austin Winstanley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am running a Mono Winforms app and i have gotten > it to run great on > Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX.
