I am not sure why this would cause a problem when connecting to the server,
there must be some conversation being carried out! I would expect it to
cause problems for other applications as well, therefore you may want to
resolve the issue for those. I assume you can't change the hosts file on the
server? Your post in microsoft.public.sqlserver.jdbcdriver has had no
replies yet!
