File access works for about five second

[JBruyet]

Hey all,

I have a user running an XP workstation and Client32 v4.83 accessing MS Access files on a NW 5.0 server. She can get into her files but after she has it open for about five seconds she gets an error message stating:

"'File Name' isn't a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides."

After she closes that error message box this one pops up:

S:\shared\angie is not accessible.
The network path was not found.

The path is correct and when she gets these messages I can go to explorer and navigate to the file. Any ideas on why her access is so short-lived???

Thanks,

Joe Brouillette

what protocols are you using
ipx or ip - and which one is default

does this only happen on this one pc - ie do you have any other xp one's out there

is she mapping to this dir through a script or is she manually mapping

does she drop all other drives as well or only this one

is the network card ok - a lot of these kinda issues are auto negiate probs
