Re: Any help here???

<<Basically the new XP SP2 has issues >>

Maybe so, but not necessarily relevant to your errors. I migrated from 2k to
XP SP2 with no issues at all - and did so on multiple development machines
(laptop, desktop). Many other developers in this group report using XP SP2
with NO problems.

As long as you are concluding that XP SP2 is "the problem" then it may take
you more time to figure out what is really causing "the problem". There are
potentially many many differences between your 2k machine and your XP
machine - the OS is just one of those many differences.

Maybe we could help you more if you were to describe specifically what your
setup is. Do you have SQL Server 2000 installed on the local machine? When
you say you can test with other laptop - 2K version - are you saying that
that machine is connecting to the XP machine and choking? If os, then XP'
firewall may need to be opened up a bit. No one can reasonably suggest you
look at the firewall NOR ANY other potential configuration issues without
knowing more about your specific setup. If it all works on your 2K machine
(everything is installed locally) but not on the XP machine (with everthing
installed locally), then its time to look at similarities and differences
between specific configuration settings - and not just conclude that the
OS - which is the most unlikely culprit here - is "the" problem.

Help us help you - and we will.
