Hi, I had similar problems with my local machine and occasionally a development server disconnecting and showing a timeout error - albeit with SQL2K
It turned out to be because each Server contained several DBs that had the AUTO_CLOSE option set to ON.

This can also cause Enterprise manager to be very slow when you try to expand the Databases node or even the drop down Database combobox in Query analyser seems to go slow if any of the DBs are set to AUTO CLOSE.
