Connector 5.0.3 - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

[Doron E]

Hi,

Lately we are getting these two errors in our ASP.NET application:

[SocketException (0×2745): An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine]
System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) +1018011 System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) +119

Followed by:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
MySql.Data.MySqlClient.NativeDriver.Configure(MySqlConnection connection) +20 MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.Open() +276


I found this problem documented here:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=25151
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,8380,8380#msg-8380

But no one has ever posted a fix, solution or workaround...

We use the connector version 5.0.3 and MySQL version 5.0.22 on a Windows 2003 server, we use ASP.NET 2.0, ASP.NET AJAX and some third party AJAX components.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks,
Doron
