Hi,
I have recently been having problems running SQL scripts where the installation reports ODBC Connect: timeout exceeded.
We use a .NET application that tests the connection to the SQL server (using System.Data.SQLClient rather than ODBC) which always reports that the connection is fine.
This error doesn't appear for all users installing the software.
After looking into it, it seems that the effected users only get the problem if they use "localhost\sqlexpress" if they use the server name "DEMO-SQL01\sqlexpress" the problem disappears.
I thought I'd post this incase other people experience the same problem.
Regards,
David
