Hello,

I did find this to be interesting...

Opening up "links" and going to certain addresses like http://www.google.com or http://www.hotmail.com returns an error that says "invalid argument" as well. I am thinking this is suffering from the same problem but have no idea what it could be.

Suresh,

Thanks for the tip. I am however using the direct IP address to the server, and yes, it is connecting to a MSSQL server instance.

Hello,

   I have been trying all day and night to connect to a MS SQL Server
database from my redhat linux box.  I can connect just fine to a MySQL
database, but it just won't fly with a MSSQL database. Here is the code I
am using:
string connectionString = "server=<SERVER'SIP>;database=<DATABASE>;uid=<USER>;password=<PASSWORD>;";

Everything compiles fine and it runs just grand from my Windows XP box, but
when I try mono sql.exe I get this:

Unhandled Exception: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Invalid arguments
in <0x00208> System.Net.Sockets.Socket:Connect (System.Net.EndPoint
remote_end)

looks like the MSSQL server is not reachable from your linux box. if you are using server's name in the connection string, check the DNS configuration. Check by directly giving the IP address of the server in the connection string.

Are you using MSSQL server instance by any chance?

suresh.
