The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51

SYMPTOMS
========

When a user selects an option on an Internet Information Server (IIS) web page
that requests a connection to a SQL Server, a STATUS_PIPE_NOT_AVAILABLE
C00000ACL error occurs between the IIS and the SQL Server. An occasional
instance of this error is normal, but numerous frequency of this error can
result in problems seen on the Internet browser application.


RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, do one or all of the following:

- Upgrade to SQL Server 6.0 Service Pack 2.

- Remove the TCP/IP protocol and use the IPX/SPX Compatible Transport protocol
  only.

- Upgrade to Windows NT Server 3.51 Service Pack 4.

- Upgrade from a 486/66 dual processor 486/66 to a Pentium quad-processor, for
  example.
