I have not tried to connect from the "other" network when the error occurs but i can connect from the internal network using Enterprise manager. When the error happens i will try to connect from the "other" network. I have also turned on tracing but it generated close to 5GB of trace data so I will have to sift through it and then i will post it. All of the clients are using 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 this is the programmer install because the client application uses crystal reports thanks again Carol
