The client machines have a login timeout value that is not controlled via
Enterprise Manager. Try connecting from the client machine using the ODBC
manager. Choosing the Test button will give you a better error message.
Also, you can try the following from a DOS command window using ISQL.exe

ISQL -Stcp:ServerNameHere -UuserName -Ppassword
or
ISQL -Stcp:ServerNameHere -E

Look for the OS Error number returned. This will tell you why the
connection is failing.
