Cannot start essbase

Question

Gurus,
I have this issue with Essbase.
It was working fine, and now it has suddenly stopped working.
When I try to connect to EAS or run Maxl in the server (which has essbase).
it gives me the networ error message
          network error 10061: unable to connect to servername         
          the client timed out waiting to connect to essbase agent using tcp/ip.    
          check your network connections.
          also make sure that server and port values are correct
I have tried to run the essbase.exe/startessbase.bat, etc and when i check the task manager, it pops up and then disappears.
Any suggestions what might have caused it?
Thanks
