Maybe you have not cataloged the database correctly…or communicating from your client to your DB server is taking a long time.

What version of Toad for DB2 are you running?

You might try to open the IBM DB2 Command Line Processor (CLP) (From Start - All Programs) - for the DB2COPY that is used by Toad.

Then type:list database directory

That will indicate if you have any databases cataloged.

If you see the database then try connecting to that inside the CLP.

Via: connect to db user using password

If you think it is the correct IP address and DB information - run a ping or tracert to see if communication to the DB server is network bound
