In our company we want to use Microsoft Business Contact Manager for Office 2010. The computers in our local network can connect fine to the shared database, however we also have an user that connects over a VPN connection. This user is getting messages that the database is not available when trying to access the remote database. Everything else over VPN is working fine, so it's not the VPN itself thats causing problems.
Personally, I think it has something to do with a to low timeout setting for SQL, but I can't seem to change this anywhere for BCM. If I use a sqlcmd (sqlcmd -E -S 192.168.178.29\mssmlbiz,5356) to connect to the database and add a "-l 20" to increase the timeout time, it works perfectly. But thats just a command, not the actual BCM connecting.
We already tried contacting microsoft for support, but they won't help us, since they do not officially support it. Hopefully somebody here knows a solution to increase the timeout for BCM so we can setup a connection
