Network drive disconnects and can't reconnect (without server reboot)
Good afternoon all,
I'm having the following problem with some PCs on a domain at work (and the "official" admin is a bit puzzled too, let alone me, the "unofficial" local admin ).
The scenario: there are a few PCs (with either Windows 7 Pro or XP Pro) with networked drives which point to a Windows 7 Pro PC acting as a server.
We can get these networked drives working nicely, then without warning, the "client" machine drops it's connection, and we can't reconnect the network drive without rebooting the "server". (A message comes up something like "the network drive is already in use".)
The admin is puzzled because Windows 7 Pro can support 20 concurrent network connections (or so we believe) and when we run "netstat" on the "server" there aren't anything like 20 connections; 12 maybe, but not 20.
Has anyone got any ideas I can try?
Thanks in advance,
Roger V.
