We will try the tcp/ip connect string.
As the cranes run 24/7 they should not be rebooted. But due to this
problem they are getting rebooted daily. It does not seem to correct
the problem. It is InterBase OE 6.0.2.0
There are only 5 services and 4 clients(cranes) connected. But
it is running a model that does about 700,000 transactions/day.

Thanks for the advice..
