Communication Link Failure

SQL 7, SP4
windows NT 4, SP6
SQL Server Agent jobs are failing, history
reports "ConnectionRead (SQLState 01000) Message 0
Communication Link Failure (SQL Sate 08S01) (Error 10004)
Jobs have been working fine until yesterday.
DBCC checkdb master, msdb, no errors reported.
I can backup the databases through a third party
application though, so what's up with the ODBC error
message reported by the job history?
Internet searching no help.
Need someone to come to my rescue!"Mary" <Mary_Scheffler@.urscorp.com> wrote in message
