Do you only get this error after 6:30 pm? Are you a member of sysadmin on the server? If you are, there should be no reason you can't get on. If you're not, speak to the administrator of the server. Alternatively, it may be something that doesn't have anything to do with SQL Server, such as a problem (or planned outage) on the network. Can you even ping the server when you get that message?John
yes it only occurs after 6:30 pm.. i am admin myself... ping command is not recognized on my cmd as i have set its path according to java..n i even don't know the exact syntax to run the ping command..
