My network consists of an XP SP3 and an SQL2005 network. I connect to the SQL tables via an ODBC on the XP. When the XP is restarted, I can connect via the ODBC for a period of time, maybe 10 minutes. Then the connection is lost. I must reboot to access the SQL server again. I can map to the sql server, so the network is intact. I have another pc running on WIN NT very old. It does not lose the ODBC connection.
Do I need a new odbc driver? Thank you.
This was happening when the SQL server was SQL2000, so I updated to SQL2005 to see if it would stop losing the connectivity. I had first applied SP4 to the SQL2000 server.
SQL server is running on Windows Server 2003 SP2.
