Hi Kevin, I have seen this before if you have a OPCHDA license installed and you are making DA calls. Make sure you don't have both OPCDA and OPCHDA licenses installed. If you enable connection logging in the OPC server you can see an error when reading the license.

In many cases, restarting the API and/or the OPC server does not fix the problem. Netstat shows the port status as BOUND or CLOSE_WAIT. Anyone out there have ideas on what might be happening or how to resolve?
