title: Is SQL Server's Remote Login Timeout setting equivalent to setting Connection Timeout value in connection string?
body: <p>In SQL Server Advanced properties there is <code>Remote Login Timeout</code> setting within the <code>Network</code> section which defaults to 20 seconds.</p>

  <p>Is this setting equivalent to setting the <code>Connection Timeout=XX";</code> within the connection string or not, and if not, is there a way to change default <code>Connection Timeout</code> on the server itself instead of modifying connection strings to add this setting?</p>
  
  <p>To me, MSDN is not clear on this, it's not clear if this is referring to remote login to that server for which the setting is specified or remote login from that server to other servers...</p>
