We move FW to a new server. We changed to using run-time DLLs. The FoxWeb Channel status shows fewer than the 8 channels configured dropping as low as 2. But task manager shows 8 instances of FWServer running. Force quiting them in task manager would restart the channels.
System:
Win2K server SP4
FW 2.5
two -2.4gz xenon
VFP 6
We moved from an older box to find if it would fix a timeout problem. This has been an intermitant problem. It occures as a storm with all channels timing out and cpu and network activity droping to 0 as if waiting for a resource to free up. The FW startlog show it happening to a random sampling of programs.
