What protocols are running on the servers and desktops? Which
network library are you using?

http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htmHello,
One of our servers runs NT 4 and SQL 7. Our Client machines (Win2k Pro) try to connect to the SQL server either via ODBC (in a VB app) or using Enterprise manager, they keep receiving intermittent �Timeout Expired� messages. This didn�t happen a week ago, and AFAIK nothing has changed on the server or the client PCs. I�ve tried restarts, SP, Hotfixes, reinstalling client software.
The client PCs are made up to Win2kPro SP2, Visual Studio 6 SP5 and SQL 2000 Client Tools
Everything on the network is 100mb Cat 5
The odd thing is I installed a fresh copy of Win2k SP1, Visual Studio 6 (no SP) the user access our VB app and never gets a �Timeout Expired� error. Grrrrrr!. Therefore I thought ahh perhaps then its SQL that�s causing the problems, so I ripped it off my machine but I still get the same error message.
I can�t see any problems with the server, web sites access the DB fine.
Any body have any ideas.
Thanks
Paul
