Connect to enterprise manager

WIthin out network were all having issues connecting to SQL server, e.g. it
would allows connection when we can intermitadley connect.
Are the any know firewall issues or other known bugs?
Hi,
Might be because of slow network, Try executing the below command from your
cleint PC
Ping <SQL Server IP Address> -t
If you get contineous "Request time out", then inform ur system / network
admin.
Thanks

|||Hari,
Seems as if it could be that. DB on on internal netowrk are fine. But the
problem db is with our hositng compnay: we have a 2 Meg brodband line
(operating a 1.6mbit/sec).
Any suggest of what I can say to our hositng company? I know our IP are in
there firewall, and thus sometimes we can connect; would a firewall with an
ISP tend to stop ping's?
Other options could be our router or our ISP.
THanks for you help on this!
regards
MAtthew.

|||Hi Matthew
If you're trying to ping a server at your ISP, it can very well be that they
don't allow pinging. In most cases pinging is blocked from outside a
firewall - not only on ISP's but also on most other companies.
I'd suggest that you call your ISP and talk to them about this issue because
you'd need to have the proper ports open to get into your SQL server. I
don't know if they will allow this or not, but if not you might be able to
do it via a VPN connection.

Steen

My network is not a slow one. This problems occurs for more than one user.
Will you please indicate me how you resolved the problem or any workaround
for this? I am almost decided to format that server with all the work that it
implies and its impact on my users
Thanks

enters Enterprise manager and starts working with some DTS, the connection
with the server is lost. PINGing the server do not respond. It happens in
more than one user. I have changed the redundant NIC but it remains the same.
Will you please give me a hint how did you manage to solve it or if you
tried any workaround for this?
