General Network Error from ASP Application. Suggestions Required.

Hello,

We are facing the 'General network error. Check your network
documentation.' error at random from our ASP application on Windows
2003 connected to the MSSQL 2000 database server through a crossover
cable. We receive both recv() and send() errors. The only peculiar
similarity between the errors is that they all happens at the same
second on a particular day.

For example, here are some times at which we received this error
(notice that the seconds are the same):

8/1/2006 12:24:57 PM
8/1/2006 9:36:57 AM
8/1/2006 9:35:57 AM
8/1/2006 8:47:57 AM
8/1/2006 4:41:57 AM
8/1/2006 2:28:57 AM
etc

7/31/2006 10:36:53 PM
7/31/2006 9:25:53 PM
7/31/2006 7:29:53 PM
7/31/2006 6:27:53 PM
7/31/2006 3:46:53 PM
etc

on 7/30/2006, it was at 50th second and today (Aug 03) it is the 37th
second.

- We ruled out network connectivity as the web server and database
server are connected together using a crossover cable and the ethernet
cards are recently replaced as well.
- We have increased the paging file size to make sure w3wp.exe has
enough space.

I am totally puzzled. I will greatly appreciate if someone can give me
suggestions on where else to look at.

Thanks,
Mohan

First guess is the timing is a red herring and has nothing to do with
it. Might try a sniffer or other network diagnostics to check this.
At the very least I'd replace the cable.
