title: Setting up the default AspNetSqlProvider to point to remote database
body: <p>When starting a new project that required the use of membership providers I found that I could not connect to a remote database that contained the membership database.</p>
  
  <p>I ran aspnet_regsql and was able to create the membership database on the remote server but when I go to ASPNET Configuration (cassini development server) it will not connect to the remote server.</p>
