Help required Urgently: Intermittent connection failures

I am trying to connect to SQL Server from another box and I keep getting
this error intermittently.
DB-Library: Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist.
Unable to connect: SQL Server does not exist or network access denied.
Net-Library error 10060: Connection (Connect()).
What could be the issues ?

Hi,
This can be because of network issues. Can you execute a PING <Ipaddress>
command and
confirm that network is stable.
Thanks

homed? Perhaps the serving box is too busy? Perhaps a
bad patch cable? Are any other applications on this
server having problems connecting out?

Verify that the server doesn't have a personal firewall that is blocking
the client.
Make network traces on both the client and server and verify that the tcp 3
way handshake is completing.
