Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
'conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source = (local); Initial Catalog = Northwind; User Id=Mohammad-PC/Mohammad; Password="

End If
%>

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: Login timeout expired

i've set session timeout to 10mins but still same. i use IIS 7.5 and sql server 2005

Answer 1

The msdn-support gives a couple of hints, mostly about the firewall configuration and the port the database engine listens to which might not be the standard 1433 due to security issues.
Try adding the port number to the Data Source, sth like:

Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source = (local),[port]; Initial Catalog = Northwind; User Id=sa; Password=[password]"

Answer 2

(local)

is probably not getting resolved. Try localhost or even 127.0.0.1
