This error is usually caused by an invalid resource name, so if you are using VISA and want to connect to an instrument at address 2 on your first gpib board, use "GPIB0::2::INSTR".

Also, check that you can communicate with your instrument in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). You might also try the interactive control to make sure that the GPIB communication is working.

If this isn't helpful, let us know what development environment you are using and the functions / VIs you are using to try and connect to your instrument.
