Hi,
I guess this is a problem to focus on the fire wall. I have not got the same
error, but i have faced similar issues where the firewall would have network
connections for specific amount of time and then time out. A restart would
again allow firewall to keep these connections open for that specific amount
of time. Thats why when you restart the machine, you can establish the
connection. So once it is time out, your SQL Server machine is no longer
accesible and your asp page says that it could not fine the server. So as fa
r
as I know, the problem is with some configuration in the firewall.
Hope this helps
