Using SQL Server Express 2008 SP1 on Windows XP SP3.

Unplugged network cable connection.
When creating the SqlFileStream class an exception is thrown "The network
connection cannot be reached."
This works when the network cable connection is plugged back in.

Does anyone know how SqlFileStream can be made to work when the network
cable is unplugged?

Hi Scott,

I believe that you need to install the loopback adapter (see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013) because the filestream feature needs
a "network" whether you actually have one or not.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the response.
What happens if the loop back adapter is installed but the machine is
connected to a network? Does the loop back adapter recognize this?

Is there any other solution to this?
It would seem that SQL Server shouldn't care if there is a network present
or not.

Yes, if the network is present things will work as they should. This is
because filestream uses UNC-type names, which involve the Windows
redirector.

Cheers,
Bob
