I have setup a box as a SQL 2005 Express Server. It accepts remote connections and has the users/permissions setup. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled.

When connecting to the server with MS SQL Server management Studio Express from another machine, on the same network, I have to try and login several times before it connects OK.

Can anyone suggest how to increase connection reliability please?

Is there a limit on the number of remote connections? Would there be a high volume of traffic, where a limited number of connections would hinder your access?




Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Not at all. The current setup is the server and just me on another machine doing the development work.
