Please Help... Re: bug in vs2005 for asp .net 2.0 ?

I created a new application pool and allocated my website running under
version 2.0 to this pool. I did
verify that I could connect to aspnetdb using the aspnet_regsql tool. Now,
when I go to the asp .net
configuration tool, I no longer see the same error. However, when I try to
test the connection to the provider I do get an error that says that it is
not
able to connect to the database. i.e.:

Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site
Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create
and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the
provider.

How do I know what kind of connection string the configuration tool is using
to connect to the provider ?

Thanks in advance,

Carlos.
