Intermittent problems connecting to server

I am trying out SOS for the first time and seeing frequent occurrences of

"Server closed connection",

"Error parsing c:\document and settings\.....SourceGear\SOS\Servers\....\database3.sos"

and "Opening file c:\document and settings\.....SourceGear\SOS\Servers\....\database3.sos in read-only mode. Status information will not be persisted during this session".

Any comments ? Suggestions ?

The SOS Server itself does not close connections, although the server can hang sometimes.

It's possible that a firewall or other device is closing the connection after a certain period of time or data has passed. If this is happening while the client side cache is being updated, the cache can become corrupt and the client can't read it.

That's when you get the error "Error parsing c:\document and settings\.....SourceGear\SOS\Servers\....\database3.sos" In that case, you need to delete the database3.sos file. The SOS Client should recreate it the next time you log in.

After you get disconnected, can you connect again, or does the SOS Server need to be restarted before anyone can connect?

Took a while to figure it out, but that's what it turned out to be.
