Which database are you using? 
MSSQL is what you said in your first email...

Here is the information from php:

Description
int mssql_connect ( [string servername [, string username [, string
password]]])

Returns: A positive MS SQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on
error.

mssql_connect() establishes a connection to a MS SQL server. The
servername argument has to be a valid servername that is defined in the
'interfaces' file. <-- this is what i am referring too


In case a second call is made to mssql_connect() with the same
arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link
identifier of the already opened link will be returned.
