Stick with Rick's theory. This error is almost always due to Windows
pleasing itself about when and in what order it's going to start up services.

So, for example, if you have a Firebird service starting up at some
point and a database replicator service starting up at some point,
and Win tries to start up the replicator service before it starts the
Firebird service you'll get this error.

Next bet is an unplugged network card somewhere; or even just that
Windows hasn't gotten around to starting the network services yet.

The symbolic constants just represent OS error conditions in the Windows API.
