I am developing a web site with Visual Web Developer Express and it works fine on my local server provided by Visual web developer. But when I upload the files and try to access the web login control I get the following error:

"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)"

Do I modify this on the the local side where I am developing or does my web hoster have to change something?

Thanks
Dan
