Timeout on connection to SQL server

[reidarT]

I have an application (winform vb.net 2005) installed on some computers.
There is a connection to an sql server on the companys server.
This works OK on all machines except one, where I get the mesage
TimeOut on trying to connect to sql server.
( A combobox with data from a table on the sql server is filled on the
form_load event).
Whern I quit and start the application again I sometime get the connection
to work and then things work as expected.
I have checked the rights for the user on the server and they are the same
as the other users.problem
I have the latest windows update on the machine with the problem.

From your description this sounds like an underlying networking issue
with that particular system. Check ping times from the trouble system
against other systems that don't have the problem.

If you see a large difference in the TTL responses then start looking at
the network setup and hardware.
