Paul,
Did you enable network transactions on W2K3 server using Component Services
UI? By default they are off.

Yes, both machines are on the same domain.

Yes, I've turned it on. The odd thing is, there's another person in the
office running Windows 2000 that has the same problem as mine, and another
running Windows 2000 who is having no problem at all. I'm beginning to
think it's a network problem.

Hi Paul,
We are having exactly the same problem with the same setup. We spent the
whole afternoon trying to figure out what is going on and so far we have
isolated it to "probably" a network problem. Do you have any news?

Seem to be having the same problem as well - I have spent the afternoon and
much of the night looking for a fix. I have tried all the obvious "enable
network transaction" fixes. In my case I am accessing the W2003k Sql server
by its ip, the App server (Win XP) and the Sql server are not on the same
subnet
(thought this may be important) - also they are NOT in a domain - with
transactionOption.Disabled all works fine. The network between the machines
is open, I have tested with the firewall disabled and still experience
the problem. Could it be lookup related, do I need some entries in my
LMHosts files, I havn't tried this yet? Also, when I run the DB on my laptop
(Windows XP) and same subnet as the App Server in this case everything works
fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pawel
