Error 11 in Agent Job

We're getting an error message ConnectionRead (WrapperRead()). [SQLSTATE
01000] (Message 258) General network error. Check your network documentati
on. [SQLSTATE 08S01] (Error 11). The step failed.
when running an agent job which updates from one Database to another but sti
ll on the same server. If we run the job from T-SQL it works fine. Eventuall
y though the service degenerates and we can't run the job as either an agent
or a T-SQL script and we h
ave to re-build the server.
Any ideas what would cause this problem and how we can rectify it?Please check your Server network utilities. Make sure that TCP/IP and Named
pipes values are not blank by clicking on the Properties.
thanks.

rd party piece of software, Backup EXEC. Once this is removed the agent job
fires fine.
