web.config ConnectionString

My Connection string for an application within iis to connect mssql db looks like this

<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=localhost;database=search_parser_2;uid=DOMAIN\Administrator;pwd=password;Connect Timeout=1000000;" />

Yet the application wont get past the login script (where the sql connection is happening i presume).

the database name is correct and the server name is correct as well which leaves uid.

Looks like I need help with using the uid the has needed privileges to connect to the databases.

There are 2 sets of users under Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express:

SERVER2/SQLEXPRESS/Databases/search_parser_2/Security/Users
which has
dbo/guest/sys/

Under dbo properties the login name selected is DOMAIN\administrator. None of the owned schemas are checked and under Role Members db_owner is checked

Under SERVER2\SQLEXPRESS I also have a Security/Logins folder with
DOMAIN\Administator,
BUILTIN\Administrators
BUILTIN\USERS
sa
NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
SERVER2\SQLSERVER2005MSFTEUser$SERVER2$SQLEXPRESS
SERVER2\SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$SERVER2$SQLEXPRESS

under DOMAIN\Administrator
Windows AUthentication is checked, Default database is search_parser_2

SERVER roles: ALL Checked

User Mapping

Database: search_parser_2
User: dbo
Default Schema: dbo

Database role membership for search_parser_2

db_owner/public

Status: Permission to connect to database engine: Grant
Login: enabled

yet the application just hangs upon login .

Any ideas/comments/sugggestions?
