I have a dts package that transfers data from a view into
a table structure on another server. Occassionly the
scheduled package will fail with the following error:

Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error.
Check your network documentation. Error source:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help
file: Help context: 0 Error Detail
Records: Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider
Error: 11 (B) Error string: [DBNETLIB]
[ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check
your network documentation. Error source: Microsoft
OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help
context: 0 DTSRun OnFinish: Copy Data from PS...
Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

Once the package fails I will rerun it several times
without any modifications and eventually it will run to
completion successfully. One change that I have made while
troubleshooting is to change the default network package
size from 1 to 1024 or 2048. Although this has worked I'm
not confident that the package wouldn't have run without
that change.

Has anyone seen this error before or anything similar?

This error 80004005 is generally a security error through either your
credentials being supplied or the resource you are trying to reach is
unavailable/tied up/having problems.

Have you tried creating an alias in cliconfg?

I generally create TCP IP aliases for my SQL Server through this utility.
