I am using SQL Server 7.0 Desktop Edition on Windows NT 4.0 workstation with service pack 6. I'm connecting to my production servers using the Enterprise Manager. A couple of months back, I have installed SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition on my desktop and using it to access the production servers.A couple of days back, I was not able to connect to the Query Analyzer either through Enterprise Manager or directly. I am getting the following error:

ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired.
All our production servers are in a data center. I'm able to connect to the production servers in one particular cage but it is giving the above error if I try to connect to other servers which are in different cages. My colleague is able to connect to all the servers through Query Analyzer from his machine which has only SQL Server 7.0.I uninstalled SQL Server 2000 on his suggestion but it is giving the same error. I uninstalled and installed SQL Server 7.0 but I'm still getting the same problem.
Could you please throw some light on why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance,
MN Rao"
