Suddenly I'm getting the following error on all web applications using dotNET 1.1 and trying to access MS SQL 2005. The applications and SQL server run on the same machine.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException Message: General network error. Check your network documentation.
I have googled the following and tried all suggested solutions, but none of them worked.
The error appear for no particular reason, and now I'm stuck.
As this has been working and has then stopped unexpectedly, the most likely reason for this problem is a hotfix that has been applied to your machine.
An easy thing to try to sort it out would be to use regiis to uninstall and re-install asp.net against IIS.
The utility is usually in: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 (for .NET 1.1) and you run it command prompt like this...
aspnet_regiis \u
Then when that's done, just do...
aspnet_regiis \i
To re-install it against IIS.
