DB-Library Network Error....

[Sumit]

I have an application running on win 95/98 m/c which connects to SQl Server 6.5 Server on NT 4.0. From some of the client m/c i get an error message - 'DB-Library network Communications layer not loaded'. But from this client i am able to log on and use the enterprise manager. What could be the problem and how to resolve it ?
Thanks.

Win9x uses tcp/ip only to talk to sql server. If your app uses named pipes, you'll have problem.

Try setting your clients configuration to tcp/ip.

I encountered the same error message recently.. try changing SQL server's log on account to a local system account or another domain/admin acct and re-start the service
