Assuming that you’re the “proud” owner of a .net “powered” website and you’re getting this error message:

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

Then here is a very short term fix:
1. Go to Start Menu
2. Click run
3. Type in cmd
4. In the dos window that comes up type in IISRESET

And by the way here are your long term fixes:
You have a connection “leak”
Something wrong with your sql debugging?
I’ve also heard that upgrading your .net framework may help too?

Disclaimers:
I’m not expert on .net. This may break your website. I’m just a guy who wanted a .net website to run for a few more hours today and who doesn’t have the source code or Visual Studio editor.
