Hi All!

I facing the following problem:

Sometimes i get error while connecting to my SQLServer instance from client machine "Timeout expired". I found it occurs when my DNS server is not reacheable from client machine. But i connecting through alias, created by Client network utility, where i specify directly IP-address, NOT DNS-name ! I tried to connect through QA, osql - resuls the same.
Why it requires DNS ? What parameter i missing ?

Telnet on IP-address port works normally.

Server - NT 4.0 SP6 PDC, SQLServer 2000 Std Ed
Client - Windows 98 or NT 4.0
