Hello,
I have a problem with a multi tier app, in my pc (win xp sp3) when I try to get the provider names (I have sql express 2008) through the connection string (I choose Ms ole db Provider for SQL Server) I use ado connection in server side and socketconnection on the client side, I get the sql server name, in a pc with winxp sp3 I try to do the same but when I click on the data link connection tab the "choose or type a provider name" I get an error (it is in Greek but I will try to translate it) "error in enumarate the data providers the count reports value 'unspecified error'" and no providers names appear. I have installed the net frameworks and the mdac also I have a modem router but I haven't port forward (only 1433 port) any port.
Any help?

Thank you
Kyriakos
