connect to MSSQL server 2005 express and authentication

[xrado]

i'd like to connect from remote host to MSSQL server 2005 express.
MSSQL uses windows authentication and path to database table looks like this:
ACER-TM4104\SQLEXPRESS\Databases\authors

ACER-TM4104 is computer name and it has ip 192.168.1.4.

i dont know about password...where do i set it?

i tried a few variants with connection below but every one : PHP Warning:  mssql_connect(): Unable to connect to server
<?
  $link=mssql_connect("192.168.1.4\SQLEXPRESS","","");
?>

I don't use this method myself, but you have to set mssql.secure_connection = On in the php.ini file.

Or, you can turn on mixed mode authentication in SQL Server, and then go the username/password method.
