I'm managing a server running Windows NT Server 4.0. I have installed Microsoft's Services for Macintosh and shared a folder on my Windowst NT NTFS volume. My Mac can connect to the said share and view its contents. However, everytime I copy a file from my Mac to the shared NTFS volume, my Windows NT Server would crash (blue screen). I tried reinstalling the service but it would still crash the server.

How do I fix this problem? What's causing the server to crash?

Hi
What service pack on NT4.0? What does the BSOD read when it crashes, give me the first couple of lines. What else is running especially as services (apart from the usual) on the NT Server?

Regards

First what SP are you using? I run SP 5 on my server. Secondly, while not THE answer you may be looking for, try installing DAVE on the Mac. I've done this and it allows the mac to see ntfs shares w/o making duplicate files. For example i have a graphics artist sharing her work w/ users on the NT network (both use adobe pagemaker).

Best of luck

I'd like to know what the first couple of lines in the blue screen message are. We might be able to locate the source of the crash if we knew which module was misbehaving.

Here's a couple of things to check.
First rerun the Service Pack (at least sp4 but sp6a would be better)to make sure the Services for Mac files are up to date.

Update the NIC drivers in the server.
Are you running IPX/SPX on this server as well? I've run into a bug with certain NICS
when IPX is running that causes aproblem like this. Specifically HP Servers with older drivers.
