I have a user that logs into our network. They will be able to use all of the resources they have permission to. However at random times throughout the day they will try to save a file to their home drive on the file server or access another network resource to find that they don't have access. This is not due to security or logging or locking out they are randomly disconnected from the network. They do have full control rights to everything they try to access. I am running an NT network with windows 95 clients. Any help would be great. Thanks

I can think of a few things that could cause that depending on the error the individual is getting. You could have duplicate IP addresses, a bad ethernet card or wiring, you may want to double check in User Manager to see if there is any restrictions associated with the account any block during the day that has been accidentally set to not allowed should kick them off the network. If the error is access denied then you most likely fall under the second category. If on the other hand they get anerror similar to network path not found there is definitely a communications issue.

I've seen this before with Win95 clients.
The problem occurs from a IPaddress lease issue. We partially resolved the issue by shortening the lease duration to an hour.
Running "winipcfg" and doing a release and renew, will get them going again.
Win98 clients were better but still had some problems.
Microsoft has no fix.
Many people at a TechMentor conference tried to corner them on this issue and they said Win98 SR1 was supposed to fix it but it did not.
