If you look at the Db2oledb.h header file, the "-3" indicates a DB2OLEDB_ERROR_RECEIVE for this error. This does not correctly indicate the TCP/IP socket error type.

NOTE: The Db2oledb.h header file is part of Host Integration Server 2000 software development kit (SDK).

More information

Microsoft has updated Host Integration Server 2000 OLE DB Provider for DB2 to provide the specific SOCKET_ERROR, which is displayed in internal tracing. To see the message, you must have Error Conditions turned on in DB2 Network Library. To do this, you can use the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) Trace utility (Snatrace.exe). You can potentially see a message when you connect, send, or receive over the Windows TCP socket. An example trace message is formatted as follows: 
Windows TCPIP Socket Connection (10061): No connection could
be made because the target machine actively refused it.
