I'm chasing a ghost.. please help.
We are running W2000 Server as PDC w/ Exchange 2000 standard version, we also have a Novell 4.11 Server running ipx/spx (only) (Provides printer services to hp Jetdirects.)
DHCP comes from the W200 Server, and provides clients with their info for the DSL Gatreway Router.
Data is stored on the W2000 server for all employees documents.
Our accounting software (pclaw) is residing on the W2000 Server and it's network requirements state the ipx/spx should be primary protocol.
Other Software issues,
MS Office 2000
Norton 7.5 Antivirus Network On Novell and W2000 Server
Network CD Library (from Novell Server)Premise
HPScanjet (rarely Used) to one Novell Workstation.
Network Architecture is Netgear Hubs and Switches.
THE PROBLEM
Intermittent users will lose their mapped drives on the W2000 Server. They don't disconnect, they just become inaccessible. Logging off doesn't repair the problem. We have to do a complete cold boot of the workstation. (P3-866 on MSI 6309 Via chipset w/ Intel 10/100 Pro Adapters.)
The affected user can still see the Novell server and it's mapped resources, the user can print. It appears we are losing the authorative connection to the W2000 Server. But Exchange still Works. It's not the same stations. It moves about on the network.
Please Has anyone heard of this (dropping of the right to used a mapped resource on W2000 Server)
