why mvc3 saves to a local db when webconfig tells it otherwise

I'm kinda new to all this MVC3 stuff, and in many terms programming. The concept is that i will show a list of datacontent which is at my remote db. So as far as I can see my problem is that the data I'm trying to create/edit on my remote site, tries to access my local db(SQLExpress) to save it there, but of course without luck. The connection as far as I can see is as it should be, but I will post it here to help solve the problem. i tried turning off my local db, when trying to debug on my machine, and this caused this error:

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

which just tells me that it couldn't connect to my server which is kinda logic when i turned it off. Now, my webconfig looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

Now this is in my head correct. But I'm missing something but i have no clue of what.

also the error I get is when I try to load my customcontroller

 private DataContext db = new DataContext();

        //
        // GET: /CustomContent/

        public ViewResult Index()
        {
            return View(db.CustomContent.ToList());
        }

As mentioned in the comment the connection string is not correct. It contains data source twice and in incorrect form.

Try modifying your data connection. Your data source must include " to connect to your db.

connectionString="data source="Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=ip;Initial Catalog=dbname;User Id=username;Password=password;"" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
