Hi, I use the STunnel tool to connect to my Ms-SQL database. And so far this works nice. However at one organization I have the following problem:

<< connect_wait: s_poll_wait timeout>> And the connection fails.

Here is the log file and config file. Can you give me any hints how to check where it goes wrong?

Thanks.

Reinier.
