You should be able to narrow this down by executing the following query in
query analyzer...

select * from sysprocesses where spid > 50 and blocked > 0

I would run this every few seconds over a minute period or when the server
appears hung. If you get anything returned chances are this is an
application issue. If so I would recommend the Microsoft Newsgroups they are
pretty good at providing the information you will need further to track down
the issue.

Subject: Strange behaviour of MS SQL 2000

At the moment I have no idea if this problem is caused by a DOS to our
win2000 box or
is only a bug triggered by some client application that connects to the sql
server.

However this is what it happens:
- client applications connected to the sql server stop working giving a
timeout runtime
error or freeze if CommandTimeout property is set to 0 in the
ADODB.Connection object
of the client apps.
- no other clients can connect to the sql server.

It is possible to login from remote to the server via terminal service and
all seems to be
normal, sql server working, there is no strange disk activity, memory usage
or other
resource leaks.

The only way to solve this block is to log in and log off on physical
console! I'm getting
crazy! How can be possible that services that run in background are
influenced from an
interactive login on console?

I've made several analyses using a packet sniffer on the lan and doing sql
traces
running sql profiler and it seems to be all ok but never happend this
problem during
these analyses!

Thank you in advance for any help.
