RE: LAN connected but files offline - why?



Were you ever able to solve this problem? We are experiencing something quite
similar. We have a windows 2003 server and we are synchronizing clients my
docs folders to the server through active directory. we have about 45 clients
connecting throughout the day. All users are connected through a LAN. At
seemingly random times users get the "Working offline" message, even though
they are still connected to the network and can still access the internet.
We're having a terrible time trying to figure out if it is a client side
issue or server side. Not all users have reported the problem. Any help would
be greatly appreciated

Thanks
