Is there any movement on this? I've noticed this problem the last couple of
weeks too.

I'll leave my development box sitting there for a random amount of time and
when I come back and hit a ColdFusion page that attempts to connect to SQL
server the connection eventually times out. ColdFusion pages that don't have to
access a database perform correctly. I can also use SQL query manager and run
queries against the database. However, I'm unable to have ColdFusion connect to
the DB until I completely restart the ColdFusion server service.

I'm also see this on our production machines - After applying the suggested
fixes performance hasn't changed.

Please - any help would be greatly appreciated...
