AdilSo, after you reopened QA the same query ran with no errors? Are you suspecting you're going to get it again?|||hi
thanks for the reply

yes, i'm worried if it comes again whats the solution for it.
pls help me out.

TIA|||The problem seems to be that you've got some bits stuck in your network cable. Remove the cable, shake it vigorously in all four cardinal compass points (north, east, south, and west), and plug it back in. Things should work just fine then!

On a slightly more serious note, removing the network cable will actually fix the problem in most cases. There was some kind of communication error, possibly lost data/framing error/digi-voodoo/etc. When you remove the network cable for any significant amount of time (over a few seconds), the NIC resets. When the cable is reattached, the NIC reconnects, and whatever problem there was is magically gone.

If nothing else, the attention that you get when everybody thinks that you've clearly lost what little mind you might have once had, then your bizzare behavior appears to fix the problem will get you lots of digi-voodoo status.

-PatP|||that's an interesting solution, but considering the real reason for the above error actually very precise. now, here's your reference material (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/q176/2/56.asp&NoWebContent=1) in this regard.|||Pat Phelan, you need to be more carefull about your advice. I followed your intructions and got bits all over my carpet. They are extremely hard to get out, and since the dang things carry a static charge they stick to my cat and he has tracked them all over the house. On a positive note, they seemed to pass through his digestive tract pretty quickly.
