Files jump in List view on NT appletalk share

[swimclan]

Hi-

I recently installed new 3Com Ethernet switches on my network. I have a single NT4 file server. That server runs Mac services. Since installing the switches, all the Mac desktops that mount those shares (on the NT4 box)are experiencing a "jumpy" effect when viewing the contents of the share in LIST view. Also, the shares will periodically disconnect from the desktops.

Can appletalk run over a switched network??? Or is it SO primitive that it MUST be on a broadcast type network?

Any help is appreciated...

Matt

This knowledge base article will definitely help you. If you are not already running SP3+ you should really think about upgrading. If you are running SP3+ you most likely just need to reapply the service pack.
