I'm running a Windows 2000 network. Every day, more and more 9x machines hang when trying to access network shares on my W2K boxes.

Has anyone run into this before?

Mkae sure you have DNS entered in to your network properties.
.
Tyr installing NetBeui on all your machines or at least one each and see if that speeds up the process.
.
You can also try rejoining the 98 boes in to the domain again.
Good Luck

I had the exact same thing on w2k/win98 and winxp/win98. Everything worked fine for a few days and then connection problems started popping up. To resolve it I installed netbeui on all of the boxes (w2k, win98 and/or winxp) and I haven't had any problems since. Some people say that netbeui isn't needed but I disagree. It is an older protocol but it is mainly used for name resolution and it does resolve connection problems.

IMHO.
