MSDE to SQL Server 2000 connection drops on XP Pro

Using MSDE 2000 SP3
Sql Server 2000 SP3
Win XP Pro SP1
Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
We have recently upgraded field laptops from Windows 2000 to XP Pro. One of our applications which was developed with Visual C++ 6.0 and using MSDE will just drop it's connection to our consolidated Sql Server 2000. This works on Windows 2000 machines.
I have ran the profiler, monitored Sql Processes for locks, checked Event logs and I am unable to find any type of error. Our sync process just drops off. I am uncertain if it is MSDE, Sql Server or XP.
I even set the application's compatiability settings to Windows 2000 but still same result. I am uncertain as to how to do anymore troubleshooting.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vannie Keever
SQL Server (including the MSDE edition) cannot close a connection by itself
except when shutting down. The client, the OS, or the network has to tell
SQL Server to drop the connection. Try a netmon trace to get more details.
