Author  Topic  benander Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2009-08-10 : 23:41:58 We are running a TPA tool that queries our SQL 2008 cluster. The problem is that it will error out with System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. This is definately a Vista/server 2008 problem. The tool works on all XP and server 2003 machines. I looked at wireshark output from one time when it worked (it randomly works sometimes, maybe 1 in 100), and when it didn't work and I couldn't find any differences. Even when it didn't work there were correct Ack,Fin packets. I found this on MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190181.aspx and am just wondering if this is the correct assumption. If this is the case would the solution be code related or config (on the machines it does not work on)? Thanks, Ben
