If you're using TCP/IP to connect to the server, and DHCP (IOW, your machine gets an IP address assigned each time it connects to the net, as opposed to a static IP address, which is assigned permanently to a single machine) it's possible that either (1) there are no free IP addresses available for the DHCP server to assign (IOW, there are more machines than available IP addresses controlled by the DHCP server), or (2) the DHCP server or service is down or disabled.
