this is how I access a local server. The machine is server-win2003.

db = DAL('mssql://*user*:*pass*@server-win2003\hcnsql07/vcidat') 

In this case, the SQL Server has an instance name of hcnsql07
and the database is vcidat
Probably that part of the connection string is the trickiest (the server 
name and instance). I use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to connect 
to the database to prove to myself that  I know exactly the name of the 
server. In case you didn't know, there are free "Express" editions of 
Management Studio for download.
