I have a remote SQL Sever 2008 DB which works flawlessly when using
Management Studio. However, whenever I try to reach the DB from a C#
app developed on Visual Studio 2008, I get "40 =96 could not open a
connection to SQL server" or something similar.

I guess it has nothing to do with the connection to the server, since
port 1433 is open on the server, and I can access the data, and
perform any operarion with it, using Management Studio. Is there any
other thing I should try?

Thanks is advance
