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

I would change the ASP to connect using the IP address rather than using the DNS name (presuming that's how it's set up) and use SQL Auth if you are not already, as this should allow you to bypass the PDC altogether.
