Hi everyone! I understand that this is a horriible time for everyone and I wish I did not have this problem right now but I really need to get it resolved. We have a network in our office which has 6 PCs and 9 MACs all connected to a Gigabit switch. All of the PCs have Win98SE installed on them and a few days ago I upgraded the OS on my PC to Win2K and thats where the problem kicked in! The installation and cofiguration of the OS itself went without a problem and everything is installed and configured. We use a raid 5 SCSI connected through a MAC which we use to serve audio files which are needed for the work that we do here. Now we map certain folders on the server as network drives and these drives are used by the software that we run. Well here is the problem, I map the network drives on my Win2K machine and it maps fine and pops up the folder with the files listed, then I would close the folder and try reopening it a minute or two later and there is nothing in the folder and nothing will appear until I refresh the folder. And so when I use the software to pull the audio off of the drive the drive comes up as empty!!!! What I want to know is can I somehow make the connection to these network drives/folders stay constant and uninterupted????? Please reply if you have any suggestions at all! Thank You all for the help! Leo.
