Issue in connecting to the server

  • Hi,

    We have SQL server 2008 and using clustering environment with 2 nodes. One .net application connects to this server. But sometimes we get the below error from the application log.

    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider error: 0 - The semaphore timeout period has expired.)"

    I have checked the windows and system event logs and sql server error logs, but I didnt find any logs during that time.

    Do you have any idea how to check and troubleshoot this issue.

    there may be n number of reasons for the same, but first thing comes in mind is:

    try changing the timeout limit for remote connections to 0 which is unlimited and then test, this should resolve the issue.

    otherwise, if this is a named instance start the browser service, check TCP IP \ Named pipe Protocol, PORT on which SQL running.

  • Sounds like a memory pressure issue to me.

    Have a look at the amount of free VAS (Virtual Address Space).
