Adam, please don't get it too serious, notice a smile sign in my
previous post. :)

I do not know what exactly is causing this nasty "forcibly closed"
problem, but I feel that there is something in this combination
"Win2003S+FB153SS" that definitely has something to do with it.

I have customers that are using IB7.5, IB6 and FB1 and none of them
complains about this issue. But the customer who
has "Win2003S+FB153SS" often does! And before, that same
customer had "WinNT+IB6" and didn't complain about that either.

And this something is neither a faulty network card or router,
nor DHCP service killing unused connections, nor firewall,
nor BDE, nor UDFs, nor client writing big piece to the server,
nor Windows network overcrowded with sharings - we have researched
every of these versions.

And, as Scott said, they upgraded 2 components and this started to
happen.

It is pity, that Scott made two upgrades at once, Win2003 and FB15.
It would be interesting to downgrade one component back and see
if the beast dissapeared. :)
