We have two Servers on the network. PDC is NT 4.0 Server, plus a stand-alone server running Windows 2000 Server. Win 95/98/2000 Pro Clients connect to network using Netbuei Protocol and TCP/IP for EMAIL and Internet.
On average each workstation will fail to connect to a Mapped Shared folder on the 2000 Server approx once per week. The error message comes up saying it is unable to connect, with a box asking if you would like to reconnect at next logon. If the user goes to "my computer" or "windows explorer", the shared drive that they required has a red cross through it which I believe shows that the drive is disconnected. This is where it gets wierd!!!! If the user then double clicks on the disconnected drive, they get access to it, and the red cross disappears!!
This is unspecific to any workstations, users, time of day or day. I have tried users on different switches to no avail.
Please.... no rude comments about Netbuei!! If you have any ideas then I would appreciate it.
