        Ethanhunt123 - OK, and now what authentication are you using? And I suppose you might want to check the basics like whether or not you can connect to it via something like Microsoft SQL Server Manager, etc., can you ping it, etc. The error looks like it is timing out trying to communicate with the SQL Server.
