Mirroring: Client-side redirect problem

If I unplug my primary server from the network, the client side redirect
fails to work.
I have the connection string “Data Source=primaryserver;Failover
Partner=backupserver;….â€. If the data source machine is not present on the
network I get the error “An error occurred while establishing a connection to
the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005….â€. It seems to work fine as
long as the machine is connected to the network (e.g. if the SQL Server
service is shut down and I have failed over onto the backup server).

Any ideas?
 
Hi Nate
Many thanks for the reply.
As far as I can see, I have everything setup correctly. The redirect
actually works as long as the primary server is still connected to the
network. The problem only occurs when I physically unplug the primary machine
from the network.

Regards
Will
