The way the database is connected to has not changed, so I doubt it is an issue with the web wiz forums.

It could be that your host, for security reasons blocks connections from certain IP addresses.

Try on your laptop and see if you can connect to the database through SQL Manager Studio, I believe MS now do a free version of this for it's SQL Server 2005 Express, but it can also be used to connect to other versions of SQL Server.

I have created a sql database with my hosting provider... then downloaded wwf RC1.1 and put it in my localhost directory and edited the database_connection.asp file to point to the db i created, in which I was able to connect and successfully setup my forum. However I downloaded another copy (v8.01) today but I put on my laptop which also has IIS on it and edited the database_connections.asp with same db login info...but everytime I try to connect to the forum it fails to connect to the database...
Is it not possible to connect two copies of the forum at two different computers to the same database?
