   Add "Connect Timeout=50" to the connection string.   
      
   It appears that your network configuration is having, well, problems.   
   I have experienced similar at home as well. I had some awful ping   
   times between my laptop and my desktop. The easy way out was to disable   
   IPv6, but I flatly refused, and spent some time fighting with my   
   router about it. It works now, I think.   
      
   The default connect timeout is 15 seconds, and that should be enough   
   in normal environments.   
      
   Great to hear that you were able to resolve the issue!
