Question : I am getting "Cannot connect to the citrix metaframe server. protocol driver error" when ICA clients connect - Urgent

Good Morning,

I have my boss breathing down my throat on this one, I really need to find the solution ASAP.

We are using Windows 2000 server SP4, Citrix MetaFrame XPe FR2, and version 8 of the ICA client (9 is the lastest).

Users connect over a 2 mb private lease line via a cisco router.

I have 4 servers in my citrix farm but one has this problem.

I am getting "Cannot connect to the citrix metaframe server. protocol driver error"  
when users connect, but on the second or third attempt they are able to connect.

I have changed the IdleWinStationPoolCount from 2 to 4 but it made no difference.

I have search on the net but not been able to find any solutions.

Can you help ?

Ian

Ian,

On a good server, open a command prompt and type "qfarm /load" (without the quotes).  Does your bad server show up?  What's the load it is reporting?

Also try this on the bad server.

Let me know what you get.

Good Luck.
