Prabhu.S. writes "Hello,

MSSql Server Version : 7.0 OS : Win NT (Service Pcak 4)

In the SQL Enterprise Manager, I am trying to open my DB
Server Group(Under the Server Group)I am getting the following error

Error Message:
--------------
"A connection could not be established to My DB server -
Timeout Expired"

But if i press refresh then connection is getting established and I'm able to see everything under my DB server Group. Also, i have checked everything in my SQL server registration and everything is perfectly ok. Can you please advise me how to rectify this problem. Is there anything related to ODBC?? .. Please advise me.

Thanks & regards,
Prabhu.S."

Tools -- options -- Advanced. Try raising the login query timeout value. Otherwise it is difficult to say. Maybe your network / server is under heavy load or something?

You know what? I have the same problem at work. While connecting to the live server neither Query Analyzer nor Enterprise Manager will connect the first time around (I get a connection timeout), but if I try again it gets connected in a couple of seconds. Nothing I can't live with, but if somebody's got a solution I'd be happy

To rectify this problem, contact the Network Administrators. The problem is with the communication to the SQL Server box, which means that it is most likely network related or maybe the SQL Server is under some stress, so check that out too.

we get something similiar in our area.....and it's to do with the network routing tables....but our admin guys say nothing changed..


A work-around we've used is to specify the server name using the ip address, rather than the 'alias'
