OLEDB Provider Errors

I have an asp page that is using OLEDB to connect to SQL
Server 2K (We'll call it 2k1). It requests data from a
view on 2k1 which via linked server points to a an
instance of SQL Server 7.0 on a different box (We'll call
it 702). In running this command we receive very
sporadic errors. There are two in particular. Both are
regarding the transactions being used for the open
connection. Every thing I read points to using explicit
transactions which we are not. The error will last for
about 20 minutes and just disappear. The developers
stating that they are definately closing connections. I
don't know how to proceed.
Here are the errors.
1.
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
