Yes, I have the same problem at the moment.

We have WIN2000/XP . In the begenig, XML services were trough IIS5.0 and
problem with I/O error on client was happening very often. I removed IIS5 and put
XML trough CTXXMLSS and it worked quite nicely. All user connections were trough
published appls.


Problem started few days ago and I was forced to move users to direct connection.
and I have no idea why.

Rick,

Yes, I agree that it has to be a browsing issue.  I have already tried
to telnet to port 80, and every other port I set the XML Service to
listen on.  I can successfully telnet to that port.  When I try to
initiate a session to a published application, the system is in a
TIME_WAIT state when trying to connect to the XML port.  It appears that
the server is not sending back any information that the client is
requesting.

I already know how the client tries to get a published application.  My
problem is what is causing this?

Like I said, there is no firewall at all (software or hardware) in
between the client and the server.

Has anyone experienced this at all?

Thanks,

Hi Chris, Connecting directly to the server doesn't require any ICA client server browsing. If you're connecting to a published application, the ICA client has to find any metaframe server, get redirected to the data collector for that zone and then query the it to get redirected to a server hosting the published application. The 6.3 clients use TCP/IP+HTTP by default. So the client needs to be directed to one of the servers in the zone, either by defining a server address list, or by having a DNS entry in your domain (ica) which points to your metaframe servers. If you don't have a server list defined on the client, or an appropriate DNS entry, nothing happens. Another essential component of the published app resolution process is the XML service on the Metaframe servers. If this isn't working, or you've changed the default port address (80) to something else, things won't work. Try "telnet metaframe_server_ip 80, and hit return a few times, you should get a response. If you've got IIS running on the Metaframe servers as well, check the XML service is running (net start) or if its running on a non-standard port address (defined at metaframe installation time) then the ICA clients will need to be changed accordingly.

I have a test server that is running Windows 2000 Server with Service
Pack 2, SRP1SP2, MetaFrame Xpe with SP2/FR2, and I have a problem
connecting clients to published apps.  Users can make a connection to
the server using RDP or ICA, but only a Custom application connection TO
THE SERVER ONLY.  Even if they specify an application to connect to in
the Custom ICA Connections, they receive "I/O Error."  The ICA client
ver is 6.30.1050
Like I said, I can connect directly to the server, but not to a
Published App.
This server is in a workgroup, and I do have Local users and groups
configured.  I remember seeing an article on Citrix talking about there
are some missing REG keys for the ICA protocol, but I cannot find it
anymore.  I don't remember if that article deals with this issue.
I do have the FR set on the server.  I can manage it via the Citrix
Management Console.  But my test users get the infamous "I/O Error".
Also, they are not going through a firewall, they are on the same IP
subnet, I do have the XML Service listenng on the correct port, and the
clients are configured with the correct port for the XML service (which
is the default).
Anyone have any suggestions?
