intermitent connection failure

We have written a thread to monitor whether the database connection is still
alive or not.
This monitoring thread executes a stored procedure, sp_TestDB, with ADO
_CommandPtr every 3 seconds.
Most of the time we have no problems executing it. However, we receive the
following error randomly:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionWrite
(WrapperWrite()). Msg:Unspecified error
We are convinced that the machine where the database server is installed is
definitely alive as we ping it all the time and there is no request time out.
We want to know what other problems could cause this error to happen randomly?
The development language we use is Visual C++.
The database server we use is :
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug 6 2000 00:57:48
Copyright (c) 1988-2000 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

Hi Scott,
Since this is an unspecified error on the client side, In this case, please
try to use SQL profiler to start a trace to see what is actually happening
on the server. The trace log might show more information on this error.
