Symptoms

Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) service running on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 might be unable to receive messages. Therefore, messages stays in “Waiting to connect” state in the outgoing queue of the sending computers.

Cause

This issue could occur due to following reasons:

1.       During computer start, MSMQ service tries to bind to machine IP for listening which is still not acquired by DHCP. This might happen when DHCP takes some time acquiring IP due to any network latency or service start timing between DHCP and MSMQ. In this case MSMQ starts listening to the loopback address i.e. 127.0.0.1.

2.       DHCP acquired IP correctly and MSMQ listening on that IP as well. However at some later point, DHCP IP renewal happens and now machine IP is different from the last one. In this case MSMQ is still listening on the older IP. So when a new message comes for any old IP, it is never seen by MSMQ service.

For both the scenarios mentioned above, problem could be verified by:

“netstat –ano | findstr 1801”

Note: Here 1801 is the port on which MSMQ service listens for any communication.

If the system is facing this problem , output resembles the following in first scenario:

TCP 127.0.0.1:1801 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING xxxx

TCP [::1]:1801 [::]:0 LISTENING xxxx

and in second scenario:

TCP y.y.y.y:1801 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING xxxx

Where y.y.y.y is the address MSMQ is listening on and is different from your current machine IP from “ipconfig”.

Resolution


After you apply the following hotfix and restart the server, MSMQ service listens on the INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0:1801) IP address. After the restart, service now listens to messages coming on port 1801 on any IP address.
