Entity Data Model System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException - ado.net-entity-data-model

I am using the entity data model to connect to a database. It works fine locally. When I upload my website to the server it throws the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Non-negative number required.

The database on the server definately has the exact same structure and data as it was restored from a .bak file of the original (from which the EDM was generated).
Any help on this will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

For reference sake: this was caused due to my hosting provider changing the port I had to use to connect to SQL server. Not related to the code.
