To disable this feature please take the following steps on both the SQL Server and application server. Open up a command prompt on the machine. Run the following command: "Netsh int ip set chimney DISABLED" Change the values of the following registry keys to 0 a. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\EnableRSS b. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\EnableTCPA Reboot the machine after the above changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------
