Extremely Slow connection time

Hi,
If absolutely nothing changed on the server and everyone=20
else is working fine...then its your desktop.
Have you looked the CPU, Memory usage on your desktop?=20
Your desktop connection could be dropping connection to=20
SQL Server, so it could be a network issue. Try pinging=20
the SQL Server with -t option.
If server and everyone else is OK, concentrate on your=20
desktop. Maybe there was a change in the network itself.
One thing you can try is maybe create a alias for the sql=20
server.=20
You can do that by :start\programs\microsoft sql=20
server\client network utility. Once the utility opens up,=20
go to the second tab (Alias) and click on 'add'. Enter the=20
server name and alias name and either use 'Named Pipes' or=20
TCP/IP. DO NOT change anything for the either of the=20
default setting unless you know for fact they have been=20
changed.
Try using 'named pipes', if performance does not increase,=20
try to use tcp/ip.

Hi
Thanks for the response
I had already loaded the latest service packs and already set up the network client utility, and tried bothTCP/IP as well as named pipes, all of these had no effect.

problem?
If yes, then its your PC. Perhaps the XP re-install did
not work properly.
