[dba-SQLServer]SQL Server strangeness

I didn't initally have any problems w/ MDAC 2.5 which is loaded w/ Sql 
server (and is also included w/ Windows 2000.

some connections for some reason would get thorugh others would not 
especially when you moved the listening port from 1433 to something 
other than that.  Moving to MDAC 2.6 sp1 improved this connectivity and 
I haven't had an ADO/connectivity issue w/ any of my client to server 
connections.

'nuff said.

(of course, standard disclaimer, ymmv)
