How would this work? If SMB was an issue wouldn't users not be able to sign
on? Everyone is signed on, they just get randomly disconnected throughout
the day. I'm a novice at this server stuff if you could explain better.
Some consultant came in and set it all up so I'm not sure how it's
configured. Shouldn't SMB be enabled? Are you talking about this
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555038 or something
else? It just says in there to enable SMB on the Win98 machines. I
couldn't find anything about setting the SMB on the server.
