I am running MSQL 7 patch 2. on NT4 patch 6 both on the same server. I am getting the following error message, "ConnectionCheckForData (PeekNamedPipe()). [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 109) Connection broken. [SQLSTATE 08S01] (Error 4). The step failed." and also getting an alert box telling me that "error 359 the local host server is not running" but, I have checked and the services are running. Small and quick processes run fine large mulitstep processes fail. Also, these processes ran fine yesterday and no changes have occured that I am aware of.
 
I have gone through Microsoft on this one and after 5 hours on the phone they have concluded the cause is a corruption of the SQL files. A complete uninstall, included any reference in the Reg. Then intall corrected the problem but, if you do this make sure you have backed up everything.
