I have a couple of win xp pro clients that can connect to a nas server win2003 with mapped drives(about 3), but shortly after connecting(15-30 minutes) they lose connection to the mapped drive and cant even ping it. The also get the local device is allready in use when trying the mapped drive. They can ping any other server. Rebooting is the only solution so far. ANy ideas? CraigCraig

Here is an interesting discovery. Im thinking it is an ARP issue. when/after I run arp -d it can ping the host. I check arp -a and see the address is 1 digit off. This is a dual nic teamed and the bad arp is 1 digit off. Anybody see this before? craig Craig
