Question

Disk or network error 3043

Asked by: qrt

I have a network with Windows NT server 4.0 Sp5 on a HP Netserver E40 (Pentium pro 200) winth 64 Mb. RAM
Two workstations with Windows 98 on a Intel Pentium II 400 with 64 Mb. RAM
They are connected with Ethernet 10 Mbps UTP. with a D-Link hub.

There are running a Winterthur spain software for insurances agents called Master Broker.
It is maked in Visual Basic and use shared .mdb databases without client-server arkitecture.

A few days ago we change the two workstations they was Pentium 100/133 with Windows 95 and all work fine.

Now all the programs work fine but when two or more users use Master Broker we receive an error 3043 (Disk o network error)

I reinstall all Windows NT server as a Domain server and look at microsoft knwledge database and found this document
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q114/7/71.asp
I send it to Master Broker Developers but they answer that the program works fine in other sites and suggest me that the problem is in the number of blocks configured in the server
I don't know how configure this blocks.
I review autoexec.bat and config.sys of workstations and they are the same as the old Win95 workstations.

Can somebody help me to solve this problem?

It is posible that will be a Win98 bug (it isn't win98 SE).

Is this a problem that happend with a high speed workstations.

Thankyou. qrt

This is a bug in the Vb3 and the programers are the only ones who can fix this problem, have a look below and tell me what you think.
Here is the url for you own reference.

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q114/7/71.asp

I hope this useful in solving your problem.

FIX: Disk or Network Error with Data Access Objects

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows, version 3.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
Error 3043 (Disk or network error) can result when you run multiple instances of one Visual Basic program or you run multiple programs, and all instances or programs perform data access on the same database.

If the program does not explicitly close all the data access objects (by using db.close, for example), then the error will occur when the second instance of the program tries to work with a data access object.



WORKAROUND
Close all data access objects (tables, dynasets, snapshots, and databases) explicitly. For example, if your program has any of the following statements


   Dim db As database
   Dim ds As dynaset
   Dim sn As snapshot
   Dim tb As table
   Set db = OpenDatabase("<some database file>")
   Set ds = db.CreateDynaset("<some query>")
   Set sn = db.CreateSnapshot("<some query>")
   Set tb = db.OpenTable("<some table name>")

execute the following close statements before the program ends:

   tb.close
   ds.close
   sn.close
   db.close

NOTE: If you place the .Close methods in the Unload or QueryUnload events, make sure you invoke these events before your program ends by using the Unload statement (for example, Unload Me). Be careful when using the End statement; it does not invoke the Unload or QueryUnload events.



STATUS
This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual Basic version 4.0 for Windows.



MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem
Start Visual Basic and open the VISDATA.MAK project located in the \VB\SAMPLES\VISDATA directory (ALT, F, O).


From the File menu, choose Make EXE File to create an executable.


Exit Visual Basic, and run File Manager.


Change directories to the \VB\SAMPLES\VISDATA directory and double-click VISDATA.EXE to run the program. Repeat this step so that two instances of VISDATA are running.


In both instances of VISDATA, open the BIBILIO.MDB database located in your Visual Basic directory \VB.


Close one instance of VISDATA.EXE.


Start another instance of VISDATA.EXE and try to open the BIBLIO.MDB database again. You will get Error 3043 - "Disk or Network Error."

Yes wayneb, I think the same that you, but the programers insist in this program works fine in other systems and need to find a network problem.

What can I do?.

Thankyou. qrt

This answer from Q10212447 is also being posted here at qrt's request:

Microsoft has a tech article that suggests,for this problem (random disconnects with NICs using the Realtek          8029 chipset in Win98) that you upgrade to newer drivers at www.realtek.com.tw.
