Shared folders using TCP/IP connection keeps on dropping. I am using G4 with OS 9 connected to a WiNNT 4.0 server. Error occurs when I start using the network printers.

Are the shared folders on the server or your Mac? What Mac Services are running on the Server? And are you printing via TCP/IP to an NT print queue on the server?

We have had more luck in leaving AppleTalk enabled on the printers that are capable of it and letting the Macs print direct.

I don't have an answer, but the same thing happens to a couple of our users. We replaced our older NT4 servers with Win2k servers, and ever since, when our mac users go to print, they get disconnected from that one shared server. Would really liketo see a resolution to this one.
