ODBC SQL Server Driver - Timeout expired

  • Hi All,

    When I try to connect to SQL server using Server name, connection is established from Query Analyzer. However when I try to connect using I.P address, then the following error is rasied.

    "ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired"

    Can any one give some pointers where could be the problem?

    Cheers,

  • Are you trying to connect to a 'default' or a 'named' instance ? Have you set up any 'aliases' ?

  • Connecting by name you are likely using Named Pipes.  The sql server needs to have TCP/IP enabled before you can connect by IP address.

  • It was a network issue. Restarting DNS server resolved the issue.

    Thanks
