I'm running an access 2000 front end with a slq server 2000 back end on a lo
cal network. All of the sudden one workstation couldn't connect to the serv
er. So after trying several things I think I've came to the correct conclus
ion. I believe that the ma
chine was infected by a virus that was missed by two different scanners. I
think its a hijack virus that takes control of sql when its trying to connec
t to the server using the server name. Its very odd and isn't detected by s
canners. A temp. fix is to
just use the ip of the server to connect and then it works. Also if I try a
nd ping the server by name it doesn't get a return however if I use the elon
gated full name of the server with domain its fine. Any ideas suggestions c
lues?Is the server running a Personal Firewall?
Are you connecting via TCP or Named Pipes?
What are you using for Name Resolution of the server?
Thanks,
