HI Scott,

We have been battling the EXACT same problem for over 1 year now - our huge
app works perfectly on Windows 2000 server, but after moving same app to
Windows 2003, we every few hours or maybe more, suddenly gets hundreds of
script errors (we log all errors to central database), with the same error
as you :

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.

I am running my app on HP DL380 server, on a HP ProCurve switched network,
and all other applications, running on the same networks, has NO errors, so
I think we can leave network connectivity out of the question.

I have had Microsoft Consulting Services on this case, and they helped
setting up the correct connectionstring, when moving to Windows 2003, but
that did not remove the errors.

It really seems like a generel error, which has nothing to do with our code
???

Please let me know, if you ever solve the problem - we have had this very
frustrating error for over 1 year now!!!

Regards,
Tony Fonager, Denmark
