Re: clients losing server connection

Hi,

So far I don't hear any related update with Windows 2000 for such issue.

We can use the nbtstat.exe command to remove or correct preloaded entries.

We now: List the NetBIOS table of the local computer, type nbtstat -n at
the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

List the contents of the NetBIOS name cache, type nbtstat -c at the command
prompt, and then press ENTER.

Check if the server name - Ip are appeared in pair. Otherwise, I think we
should build lmhosts file to include the name <-> ip

Hi,

we neither use the lmhosts nor the hosts file. We are running DNS and
WINS
Server for name resolution. I checked one of the affected workstations
though. No entries in the files.

Maybe it's a problem with the communication to the DNS/WINS Servers but
the
event logs of them don't show any errors. And shouldn't in that case the
name
resolution be done by a broadcast?

Was there any update for W2K that could cause that problem? As already
mentioned, the XP workstations have no problems. We deploy the updates to
the
workstations with WSUS.

Hi,

I suggest you check the file the Lmhosts or hosts file which is located
in
the %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder on a Windows computer.
Open
them in notepad to check if the name & IP are matched.

Thanks.

Ok, here are the results:

IP-Settings are ok
net view IP shows the shared folders
net view Hostname shows "There are no entries in the list"
net view FQDN shows the shared folders

The client still has access to other servers though and Windows XP
clients
still have no problems to access this server. It's only a problem
between
W2K
Professional and this W2K Server.

Thanks and br

Hi,

As you said, "However when I try to access a shared folder on the
sever
by
addressing it with the UNC path doesn't work, neither using
Hostname or
FQDN. Accessing a shared folder with IP-address works though."

Did you get any error message? My suggestions as below:

1 Check the TCP/IP configuration of the "not accessible" computer
#3.
In
the DOS prompt, type ipconfig /all and press Enter.
1) Check Node Type: in the most case, it is Hybrid.
2) Compare IP Address with other good machine: They are
should be
in
the same ip range.
3) Also check the Subnet Mask: they should be the same.

2. Run net view IP (that is "not accessible" computer #3's IP).
Check
if
you receive "There are no entries in the list".

3. If net view IP is OK, we can try to use net view
hostname(computer
#3 's
name) to check if it is a name resolution issue.

4. Please let me know the results of the command "net view
hostname" if
there are some error code.

For example:

A) You may receive "System error 5 has occurred" and "Access is
denied"
when using net view command. In this case, you may have the
permission
issue. Another symptom is that you can see the remote computer in
Network
Neighborhood but not access it. Check these:
1. Do you have right to access the remote computer if it is domain
network?
2. If it is workgroup network, have you created the same username
and
password in remote computer?
3. Do you assign the user rights under Security tab if it is the
NTFS
partition.

B) If you can net view IP while net view \\hostname gives you
"System
error
51 has occurred" and "windows cannot find the network path", you
may
have
the computer browser issue.
1.Make sure the Computer Browser is running.
2. Make sure the Server service is running
3. troubleshoot Mater Browser using browstat.exe.

Thanks.

The problem still occurs.

Interesting is that the name resolution works when I ping the
server
from
the workstation. However when I try to access a shared folder on
the
sever by
addressing it with the UNC path doesn't work, neither using
Hostname
or
FQDN.
Accessing a shared folder with IP-address works though.

So your idea that it is a problem with the name resolution seems
to
be
right, but it's weird that name resolution when pinging works,
but
from
the
Windows Explorer it deosn't work.

Any further ideas?

Another question: When I ping the Hostname it automatically uses
the
FQDN,
is there any option for the ping command that I can prevent that?

Hi Marcus,

Regarding Danny's suggestion, you can try to ping the server by
IP,Netbios
name & FQDN to see if there are any clues when the problem
occurs.

Also, you can check following article:

891957 Update is available that fixes various Volume Shadow
Copy
Service
issues in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;891957

As well as, when the problem occurs, please check the registry
key:

HKCU/Network to see if the mapped drive key (drver letter of
the
mapped
drive) has values under it.

All the IP-Settings are distributed with a DHCP Server, so
the
settings
are
the same on all workstations and they are correct. I checked
that. I
also
checked the DNS and WINS entries, they seem to be correct too.

Interesting is, that only some W2K workstations show that
behaviour.
Most
of
the W2K and all of the XP workstations don't have that
problem.

And it's only doing that accessing that W2K Server. Access to
the
other
servers still works fine. Even reconnecting works using the
hostname,
it
