Author  Topic  iainmck Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2005-03-01 : 06:02:27 I have been getting this error on simple ASP code on my web site Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets] SQL Server does not exist or access denied. The Web Server is running on NT(sp6a) and IIS 4.0 The database is on a separate Windows 2000 (Sp 4) with MS SQL Server 2000 (8.00.760) And the PDC on a separate NT(sp6a) server. The application is accessed via a Cisco PIX 515 Firewall. This error appears intermittently at random times without any specific pattern and rebooting the PDC then web server always clears the problem. I have replicated the application inside the firewall and this runs trouble free so it would appear the problem is either with the web server or the firewall but as I have little experience of either I am unsure where to start. Any pointers would be gratefully received. Apologies if this is the wrong forum – wasn’t sure where to post Iain
