Over the past couple of weeks; I have had a terrible thing happen. File sharing (it seems only to affect this) will lock up. For ex: once the problems occurs, if you open an excel file on the main server, and try to save, it will hang for 3-4 minutes no matter what.
I am running a AD environment; and this is happening on my PDC for Server 2003 R1 SP2.
I did notice this though. I am receiving the following error in the event log EVERYTIME I have this problem:
“A duplicate name has been detected on the TCP network. The IP address of the machine that sent the message is in the data. Use nbtstat -n in a command window to see which name is in the Conflict state.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.”
I use the nbtstat -n and get nothing. I do have 2 NIC’s active on the network for this box. They are both registered in DNS and WINS. On NIC is for filesharing, and the other NIC is for Applications.
Any ideas? Basically, the only way to fix this problem is to restart. I have tried to kill every service known to man but nothing!
