Hello:

I have an application in Delphi which uses FireBird 2.0.1 Superserver.

It is installed in an enterprise which has 8 users in a local network and 5 users in another building. These 5 users, use the application accesing via Terminal Server to the PC where the application is installed since 2 years ago.

The application and the FDB files are in a PC which, till 2 months ago had Windows 2003 Server. Then they changed this to Windows XP (¡don´t ask why please!). This worked fine during 2 months, but this week it started a problem: 5, 6 or 7 times a day, every user (in the local network or by terminal server) looses contact with the database at the same time. When this happens, I check the Service Control Manager and I see that the service "Firebird Server - DefaultInstance" is started. Then, I stopped it (I get an error 1067 but it stops), I started it again, and then every user can connect again to the database... till the next time it fails.

Does anyone knows what may be happening?

Thanks in advance

Gustavo
