These are two different problems, actually! The Byzantine Generals problem is concerned with arbitrary failure: a node may not simply fall offline, but may start sending garbage or otherwise act non-cooperatively. The Two Generals problem is concerned with network reliability and common knowledge: both parties cannot agree on the state of all messages in a system (because you must send one to inform the other party about the status of an older message).
