title: Classic ASP msxml3.dll error -2146697211
body: <p>When trying to call a web service from a classic ASP (not .NET) application I'm receiving a system error I think is related to the server the web application is running on not being able to reach the server the web service is running on.</p>
  
  <p>We're migrating our web services to a new server and my application could reach the old server just fine.  This is why I think it's a problem with reaching the new server.</p>
  
  <p>When I extract the error number and description from the Err object I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Err.Number = -2146697211
  Err.Description = System error: -2146697211
  Err.Source = msxml3.dll
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a decent way of determining what this error actually means?  I'm not an expert in ASP so I don't know what many of the errors mean.  If you need more information please let me know.</p>
