Access to the ADO.net Managed Provider SqlClientFactory was denied

In a previous post in Installation and Setup I was having problems just getting an ASP.NET 2.0 app to run on my web server. Now I'm having some different weird security issues.

I'm getting this message when just trying to open a database and put its contents into a gridview.

Access to the ADO.net Managed Provider 'SqlClientFactory' was denied in the data source with ID 'sqlEmployees' because of security settings.

I think this may have to do with our web server and our SQL server being separate machines. That always gives us issues. But I have impersonation=true in my web.config along with windows authentication and I have SQL Server configured with Windows and SQL authentication so things should be right, I'm thinking.

Any ideas??

I guess I stumped everyone. Thanks anyways.|||

Did you find the solution? If so please post it, so that it will help others :)
