I have a winNT server and about 8 client machines (win 95 and 98).

in autoexec I use NETUSE command to map a drive e:\ to a folder on the server.

then my program uses some files on the E:
but many times it is happening that suddenly the program cant find the E:\ (or the files in the E:\) ,which means somehow the connection with the server is lost.

what are the possible causes ,that could make this happen ?it is happenning quite often ,specially when many clients are ON at the same time.

what happens is like this , one minute the user is working all fine , suddenly someelse starts his machine and starts working on his machine,then suddenly the first user cant get the server connection

its not ipaddress conflicts, because it works fine for some time and then suddenly all the machines hang.

what can be going wrong
 
I think it can be a problem of ur network device i.e. Hub/Switch or the network cards.
