While it's generally best to fix the underlying network or server issue, you can temporarily adjust PRTG sensor settings as a workaround. In the sensor's advanced settings, you can increase the 'Timeout' value. However, be aware that increasing the timeout too much can mask underlying problems and make PRTG slower to report actual failures. Focus on resolving the network path, firewall rules, or server-side configurations that are causing the connection to fail in the first place.
