>>>Hi,

>>>When a user tries to connect to SQL Server 2008 (from my VFP 9 application) he gets error:

>>>SQL Server Error 10060

>>>The connection string I set up has my SQL Server ID and Password and I could connect (at least last night) without any problems. And he (this user) is supposed to connect with these credentials but something does not work. One thing I don't understand in the above error is [DBNETLIB]. What does it mean? TIA.

Yes, I did see it and in my message to DBA I suggested to look into it.
