"Timeout expired" errors

User is getting timeout errors when they try to backup a 2000 database using
a db backup and restore utility I wrote. The problem has just started
occurring w/in the last few days. I'd like to avoid driving to the site,
over 200-miles away, and changing the .ConnectionTimeout and .CommandTimeout
property of the db connection object building another distribution. Is there
a way to accomplish thisi via some "SET" command in Enterprise Mgr.?
TIATimeouts occur on the client side, not on the server, so there is no EM
setting. I hope you enjoy your trip :-)
pe this helps.
