MS SQL database keeps faulted out when I only run one designer.

Version: **8.0.10 (b2020031912)**

The TCP/IP connection to the host 192.198.0.153, port 1333 has failed. Error: “connect timed out. Verify the connection properties. Make sure that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting TCP/IP connections at the port. Make sure that TCP connections to the port are not blocked by a firewall.”.

The error is trying it’s best. Have you gone through the KBA?

Did you ever end up figuring this out?

I have the same problem. It goes away after a server restart, then it comes up again a few days later.  
It’s incredibly predictable and incredibly frustrating.
