First thing make sure in the Web.Config file that these settings are in
there:

//So that your application uses window integrated security
<authentication mode="Windows" />

//Identity impersonate so users on your intranet app are getting permissions
from their username and not trying to use the ASP.NET security account

<identity impersonate="true" />

Unless security is a very big issue on your intranet I do not think I would
add the extra headache of hiding my conn string in the web config especially
if you are using code behind(since it is compiled on the server anyway). I
do it for internet apps, but not for intranet. The problem you are having is
a common one I think, I hope it is resolved soon.
