Our company has several dbase IV v. 2.0 applications running on a network that consists of an XP server that has the application folders on it, two XP workstations that never use the dbase apps, and seven 98 SE workstations that do run the dbase apps.
Up until the first week of August, this setup ran ok. Then our dbase apps started refusing to open, or if open, would freeze in a record. When this happens, other dbase apps and even other windows apps that access documents or files on the server would also hang up. Rebooting the workstations and the server solved the problem for a few hours or a whole day, (or in one case two days). But then it would happen again the next morning.
The only hardware changes that week were that we traded our Savin printer/copier to a Ricoh printer/copier the previos day (both were connected through our LAN). We had no software changes except the usual Windows and Norton updates. Our hardware supplier came in and checked the lines and replaced the router, but the problem persists. One of the XP workstations was added after the problem began, so I know it isn't that machine.
Can anyone help me?
