Server/Workstation randomly giving out

by jarret.bauer . Updated 22 years, 3 months ago

I have been to this client many times over the past months trying to solve the following issue, hopefully someone can help. They have 5 pcs connected to a server through a domain. Server is running 2000, workstations are running XP. They have two software apps running on the server which everyone connects to, using locally mapped network drives. Now when everything is working, they can run the programs on the server and the workstations. But, after I leave, usually around a week later, this client calls and says they cannot run the apps on the server, and the workstations cannot connect to the server anymore. The mapped drives dont work and its as if the local network is down although they can get out to the internet. We thought it might be a memory issue so we doubled the memory to 1 gig, still its an issue. Sometimes things are corrected when they restart the server and workstations, but this time it did not solve this. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
