intermittent OLE DB error

[gelangov]

I have this problem occuring intermittently:

When I try to add a package to the project, and click on the Package
path button. I get a oledb error x080004005 (client unable to
establish connection)...
After I click ok, and click on the Package path again 2 or 3 times,
the error goes away and I get the list of packages displayed. Some
time I get an empty list box.

Similar to this happens when I execute a package also. When I execute
it 2nd or 3 rd time it works fine. The error happens only when I am
trying to connect to the server\database. Once it is in the database
I do not get any error message.

This is what I have:
I have sql 2005 installed.

Microsoft SQL Server Management
Studio
9.00.1399.00

Microsoft Analysis Services Client
Tools
2005.090.1399.00

Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC)
2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Thank you in advance!!!

I have no idea what this may be. However, I noted one thing:

This is the RTM version of SQL 2005. There is an SP1 out. There is also an
SP2 in progress, currently a preview of SP2 is available. I would recommend
that you download an install SP1, and that you keep an eye open for the
release of SP2. No promises that it will resolve your problem, though.
