VB & Database, Windows XP dropping connection to SQL Server 2000

Windows XP dropping connection to SQL Server 2000

Author	Message
Daniel Wilso #1 / 2	Windows XP dropping connection to SQL Server 2000 I have a VB6 application that connects to SQL Server 7/2000 via OLEDB. It works great on multiple installations of SQL 7 and one of SQL 2000 under Win 98, 2000, XP Home, and XP Pro. But we are deploying to a big customer and their XP Pro SP1 machines aren't working with it. After a short amount of use, an error message comes back saying "[DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite (send()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." When running on a Windows 2000 Pro machine at their location, it works fine. We have tried NT authentication & SQL authentication, but it breaks both ways. FWIW, the network has no DNS/WINS and the server name/IP are in the hosts file on the clients. Any ideas on this? Thanks. Daniel Wilson
