Answer 1

I also encountered with the same exception, but when our networking team removed the NAS(Network Attached Storage) drive from the database server, it solved the problem completely.

Answer 2

I assume you are running the package on the same environment you are testing the connection, right?

If yes, I would check for package configurations. If you have them active, the values you set manually on the data source may be replaced by the ones on the configuration.

If that isn't the problem, please post more info regarding when the error is occurring.
