Email your hosting company and ask for the following things:

1. SQL Server Name
2. Username of SQL database
3. Password of SQL database
4. Name of SQL database

Once you have all those 4 things, enter them into the database_connection.asp file in your database directory of your forum

number 1 indicates the mssql server 1, it is the number your host has the MSSQL server.

it doesnt have to say MSSQL it could be a domain, IP Address, etc

ask your host for :

MSSQL server name (the server that holds the MSSQL Database)
Database Name (the name of the databases you can use/access)
Database Username (username to allow you to login to the database)
Database Password (the password used for the username you have that authenticates your login)

that is all you should need , it was stated above
