SIMS fault

[tobyhacker]

Hello all,

 

We keep getting the following error on a few of our laptops when using SIMS.net over our wireless network, does anyone have any ideas?

 

The wireless connection doesn't drop and is excellent throughout the SIMS.net failure.

 

Could it be a SQL Server 2005 problem and if so any ideas? Not being great on the technical side of things your help is much appreciated!

Almost certainly sql/wireless (packet loss) related do you get the same errors if you hard wire and run sims?

[tobyhacker]

Nope, we don't get this issue on any of our wired PCs with SIMS.net.

 

However, the wireless connection is excellent and the AP is in the actual room that this laptop is having issues in.
