We have installed sqlserver standard edition on a windows 2003 server
machine and are experiencing problems with connecting to the server.We
experience intermittent problems when connecting to the server.The
server needs to be rebooted now and again in order to connect.This
problem occurs even when trying to connect from the sever machine
