I have a small NT network that consists of one NT PDC
Server 4,one NT BDC Server,one Window NT Workstation
4,numerous Windows 98 machines and a few Macs.All
the machines work fine other than the NT
Workstation.The workstation gets an event id 3006 "The
redirector has received an smb that was to short".When
this happens the workstation can't access certian files
and numerous other strange occurances.The user simply
goes to another machine to do whatever task he or she
needs todo.All of the NT machines have service packs
6a.I am reluctant to perform any reg hacks on the server
since only one client has a problem.Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Hi,
First of all I suggest that u should ping the server and check if there is any packet loss.Then try to reinstall network card drivers.Check if this problem is happening with server or also when acessing other client m/c. If there is packet loss the cause is hardware one.Check cable,nic and hub port.

If problem is not hardware one and u can access other client m/c then problem lies with ur os.Try to reinstall it.

I would try reinsatlling SP6a. I know you said that it is already present on your machines, but maybe someone installed something they weren't supposed to, or maybe even made a syatem change in some way. It's worth a shot.
