An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.

I am getting connection errors all over the place, in everything I'm doing related to native client and connection issues failing with my database. I have changed users, authentification from windows to sql, everything. The latest was when I tried to apply the properties of my existing OLE DB Connection editor, one that has been working fine up until today. Every time I try to reselect the database and table in the properties if this, it errors out with the below:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Native Client

Communication link failure
TCP Provider: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.

Here are my logs:

Have you checked if remote connections are enabled for your server and what network protocols are available?

Please open SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool and click 'Surface Area Configuraiton for Services and Connections' to set those settings.

amount of transactions in a period of time on sql server 2000

Is there a native tool (profile,trace,performance) feature I can use to determine the amount of transactions that occur throughout the day? Or is there a system table that keeps track of this(would be preferable .. less strain on the system)?

I assume figuring out the transaction in a certain period will enable me to calculate the busiest periods...I need to know the busiest period of the day...how do I do this without putting an additional strain on the server (can I use a different machine other than the server to save a trace) ...I need to determine strain on (processor,memory, and disk).

I also need to get a count on the largest number of users (running transactions) on the server simultaneously.

Any help/advice would be deeply appreciated

You need to run profiler for this purpose... there is no system table as such which stores all the transactions... What u can do is.. run profiler and store it as table and query the table as u want... Be sure what all are the data u need to capture... Profiler can cause performance degradation.... Capture only the required data by selecting proper column filter and event

Running PROFILER on full day is not a good thing if you still have performance problems, lately.

Refer:
select count(*) as TotalConnections from master..sysprocesses
go

select substring(db_name(dbid),1,30) as DB_name ,count(*) as Connection
from master..sysprocesses
group by substring(db_name(dbid),1,30)
