Background:
We are currently using an Custom Application that was hosted on our server (quote/booking/ordering system) but for several reasons we had to take it off our server and put it on a workstation with XP Pro.
We are using SQL Express on this XP machine to run the application.
Problem:
Everyone connects to this application with no problems and can use it - but randomly all users seem to get a dropped connection and get booted at the same time (no pattern to the timing, also it happens when they are using it so its not a idle thing).
The people who programme the application say its not them? but although we seem to loose the connection to app, the actual connection to the xp machine is fine (no noticeable drop out) and seems to stay connected to the share.
Question:
Is it my network or the custom app?
Is it a SQL Express setting that kicking/dropping connection?
Does XP have a timeout settings for connections? I know there is a limit of how many people can connect to a XP machine but this is happening with only 1 or 2 people connected.
It never seemed to be a problem on windows server 2003.
If it is the app at fault I need to prove it.
Things tried:
I know it could be a million and one things but I got a feeling XP is timing out the connections and dropping them even though I can connect to the shares on the XP machine all day and stay connected.
I've pinged the XP machine all day and found no packet lost.
All connections seem ok.
I've looked at the power saving options on the XP.
Any thoughts? and thanks for reading
