VPN and EM timeout problem

For some reason I cannot connect to a SQL server with EM over a VPN
connection, I keep getting a timeout error. What bugs me is that this
"timeout" happens within a second or two - normally network timeouts are
like 30 seconds. I've never had this problem connecting to other SQL servers
over a VPN connection. Is there something I have to tweak?

TIA,
Paul

Paul,

Can you connect to the SQL Server via Query Analyzer using the name of the
server? Have you tried registering with the IP address?

QA was able to connect, and I was able to register in EM using the IP
address.

Thank you for the suggestions!
