Re: Linked Server Problems with all providers



You can get this error with timeout issues. Refer to the
following:
Error message when you execute a linked server query in SQL
Server: "Timeout Expired"
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314530
You can also double check the security mappings for the
linked servers.
You will also want to check the connectivity - try pinging
the other servers from the box you are having problems with.
Ping by server name and IP.

Im having problems with linked servers on one particular computer and am out
of ideas. The box is an XP SP2, SQL server 2000 SP3. When i create a linked
server of any type, clicking on "tables" or "views" in the enterprise manager
list, gives the following error:
Error 7399: OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' IDBinitialize::Initialize
returned 0x80004005: ].

This particular LSN is pointing to another SQL server machine. Regardless
of what provider i choose, i get the same error (the error message changes
the provider based on the provider of the LSN).

I am an administrator on both boxes, have disabled virus protection, the
windows firewall on the XP box is disabled (by a group policy on the domain),
and i have enabled inbound and outbound traffic in the dcomcnfg.exe.

LSN's created on other computers work fine. Any ideas?
