for some reason one user has lost their connection to the database, when trying to connect it says "General network error. Check your Documentation" it spits out two numbers 01000 and 08001. I did some googling and a KB recommended I use named pipes instead of tcp/ip ... I havent tried this yet but even if it works I would like to know the reason why this occurred in the first place.. has anyone seen this error before?

has something recently changed on your server or network ?
could be a network / firewall issue you know.

group policy has become screwy.. thats a different issue though...I hope...i believe it may relate to AD replication.... but thats off topic I think.... (I could easily be wrong here)

but only one user has this problem...thats why I dont understand below are the exact errors associated:

Connection failed:
SQL:State: '01000'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (PreLoginHandshake()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08001'
SQL Server:11
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]General network error. Check your network documentation.


after rereading this is it possible that the drivers got corrupted?? I'm still clueless

Any solutions on this? I've read multiple KB's but it seems they are only similar errors and not the same.

There was a program blocking other programs from starting.... I suppose it was acting as a firewall what a fabulous waste of software - thanks for the help though!
