2147467259 - [DBNETLIB][ConnectionWrite (send()).]General network

I Have SQL Express installed on 17 ships. Each ship has a VB6 Client
application using OLEDB to connect to the database on local machine. Other
workstations on network also connect - we think without error. The error
above is thrown on 4 of the 17 ships. The workstations acting as the file
server are supposed to be identical (Windows XP).
We have been assured that all poer save settings on LAN Card and motherboard
have been disabled.
If I google on this error, I get over 100 hits going back several years !
Ideas to fix have included turning off connection pooling and using TCPIP
instead of Named Pipes on client workstation where database server and
application are running.
Any other ideas on what could cause this, or why 13 machines are OK, but 4
are not ? Thanks.
