Ok.. Now I’ve seen similar questions in these postings yet there hasn’t been an answer that fits my situation.
Background:
Workstations: Win95 OSR2, Office 97 SR2b
Compaq Deskpros, P2/300 or better, Netelligent NICS.
Server: NT Server 4.0 SP6a
Compaq Proliant 1600
Network: 100BaseT, TCP/IP
User Joe opens an Office file,(Word or Excel), that is stored on the server in a mapped drive. (H:\ for instance) User joe then saves the file and closes it. 30 minutes later, user joe or user jane or dick try to open the file. It says that the file is in use and to open a copy. After using WinFile to see who has it open, I have that person logoff and back on and then anyone can opened it. I can also use Winfile or Server Manager to closethe connection for someone else to open it.
I also notice that someone can logoff and shutdown their computer and NT’s server manager will still show them as being connected. So this leads me to believe that it’s a commm problem with NT and W95.
What do you all think?
TIA,
Jeff
