Hello All,

My application is dependent on two databases one is on sql 2005 machine and other is on sql 2000 machine. A linked server is establish between these two using sql account which has appropriate rights on both server's databases.

application works fine but after some time it crashes and if i see error from sql profiler i get the error

OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "sql2000machine" returned message "Login timeout expired".

Few days back applciation was working absolutly fine, but i was trying to make linked sever through windows account, i dnt know wat has i changed during achiveing that setup that now application (linked server) is not working even with sql account.

please help its urgent.

I am moving this thread to the Data Access forum. Hopefully someone from that forum will be able to help.

Thanks,
