WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

Microsoft TCPIP Sockets for Windows (using DBMSSOC3.DLL) connections are only supported using Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 and Microsoft TCPIP for Windows for Workgroups version 1.0. Microsoft TCPIP sockets for Windows connections will fail if the initial TCP session setup takes more than 5 seconds. When this problem occurs, DB-Library (DB-Lib) returns the following error 10008 back to the client application:

Bad token from SQL Server

= MORE INFORMATION =

If the initial TCP session setup takes more than 5 seconds and the DBMSSOC3 Network Library (Net-Library) is being used in its supported environment, then error 10008 will be returned back to the client application. In the event that a client receives this message under these conditions, connectivity can be made using the Named Pipes Net-Library over TCP/IP.

If this work around is not a suitable option, please contact a SQL Server Support Provider and be prepared to provide them with all error messages and a description of your networking environment.
