I resolved my Cannot Generate SSPI Context error by using the SQL Server Configuration Manager. Since I have SQL Server native client 10.0 on my machine, the connection to the server is trying to use named pipes (or shared memory?). Other machines could run my app with no problem. When I looked at the configuration manager, named pipes and shared memory were both enabled (good). However, under alias, the name of the computer was there with TCP forced. Since I didn't know what effect changing this would have, I changed the connection string in my program to use . instead. Fixed.
