Hi,
I have aexactly the same problem on few network configurations win win2000
server and winxp machines. I have been trying for months to get an answer but
with no luck; I was forced to scrap the xp machines and reisntall win2k pro
and everything is now fine. I long for the day that Microsoft admit this as
theri design fault and release a fix for it...For the time being I am foced
not to upgrade to WinXP and advise the same to many of my clients...
regards,
