Hi Alf, have you checked the comments on the php.net page (http://us.php.net/mssql_connect)? These are really helpful when it comes to troubleshooting. One setting I remember to have changed in my environment was the following php.ini entry: [CODE] mssql.secure_connection=off [/CODE] Could you try to connect to another machine to see if your server is able to connect to any MSSQL Servers? If not, have you set your error_reporting to E_ALL and display_errors to 1? Have you checked that your mssql extension in php.ini has been enabled? If all fails, try using PDO with PDO_MSSQL (http://us.php.net/manual/de/ref.pdo-dblib.php). Good luck and please give us an update of your progress!
