|
|
I'm getting the following error on Windows XP clients only:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite(WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check
your network documentation.
This error seems to occur at random times of inactivity on my application.
Here is how I am configured:
Windows 2000 Server - Standard
Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro Clients
SQL Server 2000
MDAC 2.7 or 2.8 on various clients
Development Software
-----------------------
Delphi 6, update 2
CoreLabs dbExpress driver for SQL Server
The error does not occur on Windows 2000 clients, only on Windows XP Pro
clients.
My application first opens a connection to a server database. Every 2
minutes an application watchdog timer triggers and attempts to write an
timestamp value to a data table. After some period of time (seemingly
random) the attempted write fails and I get the above error message,
followed by a "Connection failure." error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Al Willis

Most probably problem with NIC drivers or network harware on specific
computers.
Also it will much help if you do not expect an open connection to stay
connected forever and make new connection after for each triggering of your
watchdog.

I had the same error - it was the NIC card!!! Thank you Bojidar!!! I
used a Dell Optiplex as a temporary platform for MSSQL running Windows
2003. The NIC was onboard. I guess the driver was not right for 2003.
Who knows. I changed to my good old 3COM 3c905b tx card, and it is
fine. THANKS AGAIN!
