I am programmatically connecting to the Internet through a low earth orbiting satellite from XP based workstations in (very) remote locations. These workstations will be unattended.

Functionally, all is working OK. However, the event log of the workstation is intermittently reporting an error. Here is a typical sequence from the event log.

3/27/2006 10:34:04 AM Event ID 20159: The connection to GlobalStar Packet Modem made by user using device COM1 was disconnected.

3/27/2006 10:34:13 AM Event ID 2504: The server could not bind to the transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{C8FB8631-14EB-4BD0-9EBA-74664FE3AF1E}.

3/27/2006 10:34:16 AM Event ID 20158: The user successfully established a connection to GlobalStar Packet Modem using the device COM1.

The 2504 warning does not always trigger when the communications is initiated. Many times, communications is established and disconnected without the warning message.

The 2504 only appears during or near a communications event.

The 2504 will sometimes appear immediately after the disconnect, rather than between the connect and disconnect as shown above.

Is the warning message an indicator of a problem that needs to be looked into? Or is this a non-event?

Thanks

Bob
