mine is the same as his (local) and works fine
is your sql password really the same as the username ?
does the db server display anything ?
any error messages ?
any chance of a screenshot of the gate running ?
here is a copy of my dbsrc and mine works fine, obviously ive edited my password, but mine is not the same as the login "sa"
