As a long shot - I am guessing without any context, so this could be completely off base - perhaps you have a large model stored as a DBMS repository that EA is taking too long to load. There are known issues when models get fairly big; EA can be 'chatty' with the database.

This might work:

Try establishing a new Windows data source, or editing the data source file if you know how. For some [most, all?] servers there is a setting for how long they will wait on initial connection before timing out. I think the default for SQL Server might be 30 seconds (or something like that). EA could be timing out on that initial connection window. Try making it a lot longer - just make sure that you can wait that long when testing - and see if EA connects successfully. If it does then set the timeout a bit longer than it was originally, and work up. When you finally get it working, add a bit more time as a buffer.

Thanks for the prompt reply..

Can you share the path where this file located?

Depends on your configuration.

Try walking through creating a new connection to one of your repositories. The dialogs let you create a DSN file, or use one already on your machine. Perhaps you will see the one you are already using. If not, you can always create a new one, copy it to other machines, then reference it directly.
