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 authentification 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:
