Hi. This is my problem, I am to short. But there is nothing that can be done about that but maybe you all can help me out with this. I have a NT4.0 IIS web server which hosts and executes my Perl scripts. On a different machine and on a different domain I have a MSSQL7 database server in which I store info. I am battling to get the two to talk to each other. I have sat down with them and introduced them to each other but they still cant see each other, which is really confusing because they are both in the same server cabinet. One above the other. Maybe they need glasses. But seriously how do get the DB server to trust the Web server and allow guest access without losing the little bit of security that Microsoft products offer? When I leaving the server room I did hear the Web server tell the DB server that he would respect her in the morning if she let him in but she still refuses. I think she is a bit prudish, but lets keep that between ourselves. The last thing I need is to have a MSSQL7 server sulking with me. Like I dont have enough women problems already. Any ideas Justin
