I have recently begun work in a small office with 3 systems (2 running Win98SE and 1 running Win98ME). The machines are networked using the basic Win Network client included with the OSs. There is no Network Utility software on any of the systems and all they are doing is sharing data and printers. None of the drives are mapped…the “back office” just has shortcuts to the “front office” folders needed. The WinME machine will consistantly hang when Win Explorer is used to access info on a shared folder on another drive. No error message, nothing not responding in the close program window. I have found that stopping the Explorer program from the close program window and then retrying will often work but this is hardly an acceptable “fix”. I’ve cleaned up the start up tab in terms of extraneous programs loading but that hasn’t seemed to help. I don’t know where to begin trouble shooting this. Suggestions?
Thanks.
