It´s a resolution name problem. Try with the ip, and if you can modify de hosts file adding the local name with the ip.

It started throwing connection errors occassionally. They have been increasing over the last week or so and now I find I can't log in at all as the timeout occurs before the login dlg is shown. The error is: -------------- SQL has reported the following error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout expired. Connect information was Userid=[bmssa],Database=[AXDB],Server=[(local)\AXMSDE001],DSN=[AXMSDE001], Other=[] You may refer to the error log file for further details. Retry the operation -------------- Previously, a retry would get things going again, sometimes after several attempts. Now, nothing works. I've done some reading around regarding SQL Server timeouts and tried reinstalling both Axapta and the Desktop SQL Engine numerous times without success. The log files and system event log contain nothing that I can relate to this. The one thing I have noticed is that the AXMSDE001 datasource doesn't connect if the local domain is used. If I change it to use "garys-laptop\AXMSDE001" (the machine name) it connects. The error shows that Axapta is trying to use local. What I don't understand is why local fails. Changing the datasource to use "garys-laptop" doesn't stop Axapta failing, even though the datasource connects. As always, any ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Gary. Sharing the knowledge on Axapta.
