Hi Yaron,

What kind of application is this? Is it a Web Application or a Windows
Forms Application? The reason being, there are different methods for
network authentication based upon the model used. I will provide links
to both.

(Using Forms Authentication)

For your second question, what you need to do is in your connection
string for the SqlConnection object, you need something along these
lines: "server=(local);database=Northwind;Trusted_Connection=yes". You
can also dynamically build the connection string using:
"server=(local);database=Northwind;UID=<user
name>;PWD=<pass>;Trusted_Connection=yes;"

HTH,
