Hi,

I have been getting this error and cannot for the life of me find out why.

I have a web service calling a .NET component which executes a stored procedure. The Sql Server is on another machine and I have pointed my hosts file to this other machine. This is the first time I have had any problems accessing the SQL server on the other machine, but can't for the life of me remember making any changes which might have had such an effect.

I would have thought that it would at least tell me the name of the user being denied access, but it simply gives me the backslash. Could this be due to a double hop problem? I have come across these with linked servers but not with my current setup.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Change of authorisation method...NT->SQL or in reverse? A SQL upgrade on one side or the other?
Can you test from a different client to eliminate a change at the client side?
