I am getting the following error on an excel workbook which has a data connection to a sql database.

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

The connection string looks as follows;

DSN=COMAPNY1;Description=Dashboard OBDC;UID=USERNAME1;PWD=PASSWORD1;Trusted_Connection=No;APP=Microsoft Office 2013;WSID=WORKSTATION1;DATABASE=LiveData;

I can't figure out why this is happening.

It is running on a windows 10 laptop connected by wireless, wondering if this is dropping and causing the issue, or if it is a simple change to the way the ODBC is setup.

Any help is appreciated.
