  Open the registry of the SQL Server machine and navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters

  Create a new DWORD value named SessTimeout

  Set the value to decimal 600 (hex 0x258)

  This corrected the problem for me.

  600 = 10 minutes

  the original error you posted (status 121) resolves to 'The semaphore timeout period has expired.' which sort of suggests andre's answer is the one you want. should be worth a google of this text string
