From: George on
I am having a office network consisting of a SBS2003 Server and 12 Client
Computers running Windows XP. Now on one of the XP computers I am running
SQL7 which holds the database to the program I am running. Now when I log
into the system with a username (lets say John) who is a domain user in my
sbs sever who has limited rights to the sql7 machine, I am able to run my
program and access the database.

Now when I log from another windows XP machine with the same user name and
run my program I cannot access the SQL7 database as I get the msg “ Time Out
“. However if I make the user a member of administrative groups I am able to
log in to the database on the sql7 machine.

Can u advise me on how I can access the database without making the user a
member of administrative group

All help is much appreiciated
