invalid attribute/option identifier

Hi
I currently have a problem with registering a new server in my Enterprise
Manager on a new PC.

I need to connect to a MSSQL2K server on a windows 2003.
My current PC is on the same LAN as the server and has no problem
registering the server in Enterprise manager. This PC uses NT (about time I
change :-)

The new PC runs WIN2K. But this PC is on another LAN and has to access the
server through a firewall. Port 1433 is open in the firewall.
I use a Firewall-1 authentication agent to access the server.

I use SQL authentificatio n to logon (sa account), I have checked that the
new clients network libraries are the same version as the servers.
In the client network Utility I have set up an alias with the server I want
to access.

The registration seems to access the SQL server, but comes out with an error
stating: "invalid attribute/option identifier"

When I search KB with this message, I get nothing. Did anyone in here
experience anything like this? Any pointers to help me move on would be
greatly appreciated.

best regards

There are a few hits on Google which suggest reinstalling MDAC and/or the
client tools, plus this post about a specific DLL:

Hello, I'd like to somehow put minIncl and maxIncl around the data I am sending from my producer. One of the requirements is to allow the producer to send an invalid number to the consumer. The consumer will know what the invalid value is based on an INV attribute being set. Here's a partial schema of what I'm talking about: <xs:element name="data" minOccurs="0"> <xs:complexType>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
