bcp giving error "Encryption not supported on the client"

[vikram k]

I have SQL serve 2005 running on Win Server 2003 machine. To that, I am issuing a bcp command from my machine which is Win XP SP3. I get the error:

SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 21
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Encryption not supported on the client.
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 21
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Client unable to establish connection
SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.


I tried to look for the solution, but ppl have got this error mostly while trying to install the server and not in bcp.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Vikram

Found this link related to the error.

Even though they were not getting this error with bcp, their problem was resolved by adding the values to the registery. It worked for me like a charm.
