I have a home network with a Windows 2000 DHCP/DNS/File server and 4 XP workstations running through a Netgear router. When I close Word 2002 from a file opened from the Windows 2000 server, it hangs for several minutes before closing, and leaves behind a .tmp file that cannot be deleted until I reboot the that workstation. Saving also occasionally results in a "Could not save. Retry?" error, although this is more rare. I can move the file locally or to any of the XP workstations and do not experience this problem. It only occurs when accessing the file from the server across the network on any of the XP workstations.
