Connection failures



Hi all,

I need a bit of help with a really strange problem we've got with out
SQL cluster. The setup is - 2 windows 2003 nodes, sharing a das, sql
2000 enterprise sp4. Cluster was up and running for a couple of days,
the one of our offices said they could not connect to it. This box is
held in one office, we have 5 or so other offices that connect to this
cluster, and only one of them could not connect.

So, network problems? Well remote desktop to either node of the cluster
and we can connect to the machines in the remote office. Setup ethereal
on a PC in the remote office, try to connect via query anaylzer to the
cluter and we can see packets going back and forth happily with the IP
of the cluster etc. and no other traffic on the line is affected. Q
hair being pulled.

So, we failover it over to the second node. Everything starts working
again. Please explain that one. We give up for the afternoon to save
our hair.

Skip to a few days later (today now). And it all fails again, same as
last time. Failback to first node, it still doesn't work, fail over to
second, oh it work again. For a few minutes, then dies again.

Heeeeeelllp!!!
