SSMS - Intermittent Login Failure

I have a 2000 / 2005 side-by-side installation on our test server.

To login to 2005 with SSMS, the connect string is

hostname/SQL2005, 1434

There's a WiFi network connecting my client PC to the network.

SSMS fails to login frequently. I need to exit SSMS, then login again. It'll work.

A new problem today - after successful login, I can't open a project and login successfully. Error messages states "Failed to Login".

Any tips

Sam

    Even though I had port 1433 and 1434 open, disabling my Windows XP firewall solved this problem.

    Any idea on how I can enable my firewall and keep SSMS running would be appreciated.
