Server 2000/XP clients, logon issue

by patriccio_2003 . Updated 22 years, 3 months ago

Hello. A network engineer and I run a small network for a non-profit. I get paid a little, he doesn’t; for a while now, we’ve had ongoing issues with a particular program, Logos Church Management. The accounting program is fine (it’s single-user), but the church management program, a multi-user setup, has seemingly mysterious problems with client logins. It worked fine for three days straight recently, then one day, it suddenly disallowed any client logins. Over time this has been a pattern. It works fine for a while, then wa-la, with no warning, it disallows client logins.

The server, which houses the actual data, is fine; one can login to the program there and do input, no problem.

We’re running Win 2k Server, with mostly XP Pro clients. It’s a single domain with only 8 or 9 clients. The program is loaded on the server as a network server, and each client is loaded with the client version of the same.

After lots of calls into tech support for Logos, they and I are convinced the problem isn’t the software; it seems to be our domain configuration, or our lack of configuration. It may be permissions, it may be we haven’t connected things right, or something else.

I hope I’ve given enough info to give you some helpful ideas. If further info is needed, I’ll post it ASAP.

Thanks.
