On my SQL 2000 Server and in my application event log I
am getting numerous event id of 17055, which is a login
failure for a particular account on my SQL server. The
problem I am having is that I am trying to find out where
this account is logging in from. The description of the
event reads: 18456 :Login failed for user 'user'. Is
there a logging mode or tool I can use to find out where
this login is being generated from so I can fix this
failed login attempt?

Thanks,

Alex
