An install of SQL Server 2000 fails on Windows 2000.
MDAC sets up ok, then install fails with the following:

Starting Service ...
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
-m -Q -T4022 -T3659
Connecting to Server ...
driver={sql server};server=twdfp075;UID=sa;PWD=;database=master
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]General network error. Check your network documentation.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionRead (recv()).

I believe this is the Shared Memory protocol.
I have tried default/named instance installs, I tried
disabling Shared Memory after installing MDAC.
Nothing has worked and the install fails.
Please, has anyone come across this before ?
Any comments would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you !"

Here's a shot in the dark...

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q285100

Article comes up with the same error, but due to a mixed case server name on the original 2000 install. Since you are having similar problems, the patch may be helpful.

I've also seen some forums discuss this as a problem with the firewall, though I doubt that is the problem in your case.

Also, I 'overheard' this comment in another forum...

..."Hi, I solved this problem by installing win2k sp2. SP2 patches my MDAC to 2.6sp1 while separate
MDAC2.6sp1 installation does it with errors (invalid size of msdfmap.ini and invalid versions of
some dlls - checked by Component Checker).
