We have a website which uses classic ASP with a SQL Server 2000 database. For some reason this morning pages that have had no problem, are now timing out. The lines it tells me it is timing out at is a line where we update a record in the database. The site has been running fine until today. Other sites which connect to different databases on the same SQL server are running fine. Everything on this one site has slowed to a crawl. Here is the error on one of the pages that is returned

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired

/admin/results.asp, line 369


Any help will be appreciated

Maybe it is connected to the web server, not database server?
How's DTC Service? RPC?

Have you tried to restart the web server?

Also check for Management -> Current Activity in Enterprise manager (or Activity Monitor in SSMS) for blocked SPIDS. You might have encountered deadlocks in your system...

I would advice you change your database NAME in your connection string to read the internal server IP

Also check to see if all updates are installed
