[ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication Link Failure

I have a third party Client (Rational Clearquest) connecting to a SQL server
with an ODBC connection. Recently a few of the developers (not all) have
started getting "[ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication Link Failure" after 5
minutes of inactivity.
I had the a network sniff done on the SQL server as the two clients are
connecting (one that gets the message and one that doesn't). The one that
doesn't get the message was utilizing NetBios to maintain the connection
while the ones that were didn't use Netbios.
Is there something I should look at in the ODBC connection, the SQL server,
or somewhere else?
You may want to look at what protocols are being used by the
two. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator applet, select
the DSN, select configure and on the second screen, select
Client Configuration. This will show the protocol being
used.

Not that it will necessarily resolve your issue though if
the NetBios connections are the ones that do not time out.
So they use the same application (so the same connection
strings), the same drivers, the same MDAC versions, the same
protocols, there have been no updates to the application or
the OS on the PCs and now some timeout and others do not and
the ones that do not have a Netbios connection?
Are there aliases defined on the clients or entries in the
host file the clients? Also, are there any network related
issues logged in the event logs on the clients?

Take a look at the firewall configuration. XP SP2 comes with a firewall

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for us

We changed from sql 7 to 2000, crissis mode.
One use with a laptop keeps getting the error when connecting to the sql
server.
SQL 2000 latest, mixed mode.
Laptop xp pro latest, mdac is latest.
I looked up sql server 26000 and 18452. I was not able to resolve the
problem. Still an untrusted connection.
I do know it is in the user profile but what?
Hi Brian,
Just to be sure, you have some machines working and one particular machine
(the laptop) is not working, right? Are you using Named Pipes or TCP-IP? Is
the laptop using a trusted connection or SQL Server security mode? What was
the exact text of the error message? What things have you tried that did not
resolve the problem?

I would make a network trace on the client and the server. I'll bet you
can't reproduce this if the client and server are on the same machine.

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite (send()).] errors

We have a Dell 2950 running Windows 2003 connecting to SQL2005 Database.

Users accessing their SQL application are getting this error message after leaving the application open for a period when they are not accessing the system. We have run the application on two different servers and cannot re-create the errors, which might suggest a hardware problem with our server, but as yet we haven't identified the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

Hi Brian,

I'm having similar issues with my system (new HP server running Win 2003 & SQL 2005 with VB App running on XP Clients, MDAC 2.81). Seems to affect certain PC's, doesn't affect a version of the VB 6 App running locally on the server, or one of the Clients that continually polls the server once per minute, 24/7.

The error handling in the VB App actually writes a log of the error to a SQL Table, which suggests that the connection error occurs, and by the time the user confirms the msgbox prompt the connection comes back up, allowing the log to be written...

I've tried disabling connection pooling in the ADO connection string & the SynAttackProtect REG setting change as discussed at http://www.eggheadcafe.com/ng/microsoft.public.sqlserver.connect/post22689813.asp

Both to no avail....

Was wondering if you'd found a resolution yet?

Best regards

Keith

For your issue, I would try to follow the article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;899599 to add the registry key. Maybe that will fix your problem. If not, please provide more information on the infrastructure to help us narrow the issue.

HTH

|||umm - our problem appeared to hardware - Dell announced urgent driver updates for the cards in our server, but that didn't entirley solve the problem although it is better. The the support desk for hte application we are using then recomended switching the server to use both TCP/IP and Named Pipes and then adjusting the client config appropriatly. this seems to have resolved our issue
