intermitent connection problem asp to sql2000

I have an asp page (w2003 IIS) which grabs a very small amount of data from
a table on our
sql server (sql2000).
Most of the time the page works fine, with no problems. However
intermitently it falls over with:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired
/MIS/Searches/main_search.asp, line 8
this is the connection and query which brings back about 300 records:
Dim MM_uLiveDatabase_STRING
MM_uLiveDatabase_STRING = "dsn=database;uid=username;pwd=password
Dim getID
Dim getID_numRows
Set getID = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
getID.ActiveConnection = MM_uLiveDatabase_STRING
getID.Source = "select fltf_value from caps_users left join
caps_user_filters on uflt_for_user = user_id inner join caps_filter_fields
on fltf_filter_flt = uflt_filter_flt where user_ref like '" +
Replace(getID__theUser, "'", "''") + "'"
getID.CursorType = 0
getID.CursorLocation = 2
getID.LockType = 1
getID.Open()
THis is rapidly becoming a major problem! Anyone got any ideas?

You'd want to start by monitoring for locking, blocking
issues in SQL Server when you experience the timeouts. You
can monitor for these issues using sp_who2, sp_lock and
querying master..sysprocesses.
