General network error.

This error message is generated from ODBC, and not really
from SQL Server. It is generated when a connection
something the ODBC fails ie DB2 (see Microsoft) so
although SQL Server is reporting it, it is not the cause.
I would sugest that you go through the Event View on your
NT, or put in a trace to see exactly where it fails.

Nothing in the event log or SQLServer log accept that error message.

|||Hi ilovesql,
We are expiriencing the same issue - I was woundering if you had this resolved.
I also wanted to ask you - when you rebuild the server did it have the same configuration as before or you installed SP3 for SQL Server?
We went from Win2000 server SQL server 2000 SP2 to WIN2003 server SP3 and we started to have this problem from that day on. Microsoft is working on it but this is the second day and they haven't came up with the solution.
I think it is SP3 - something is not right with it.
Thanks,
Anna
