Greetings:
There are 2 machines on a client's small LAN that will lockup when saving & or deleting Word 2000 documents to network shares (the LAN has a functioning gateway to the Internet), no other client machines are affected. Access and Excell (Office 2000) files work fine, and the workstations and network are virus free. All the network shares reside on an IBM Netfinity 5000 server, running NT 4.0 SBS with service pack 6. Please point me in the right direction as to where the fix may be found.

Two suggestions:

If you are using Symatec AntiVirus - turn it off and see if the problem persists. If not, go to Symantec and get the latest update for the product. There have been some issues with Symantec and Office2K.

Get the latest ServicePack for Office2K. It is available here:
