Hi guys, may be you know how to help me on this. Since one week ago, I
have been experiencing network timeouts when connected to a Win2k
server. I usually map the shared folder every morning at windows
startup, and everything is working fine. But after some time of
inactivity when I try to read or save something to the network drive,
I receive the error "(53) The network path was not found.". I have to
keep trying and after some seconds it seems like Windows have done a
automatic reconnection and I can work again in the network drive.
This, until the next period of inactivity after which I receive the
error again.
At first, I think it was something specific of my laptop configuration
(I recently added the Loopback Adapter that allows me to work
disconnected with some software that requires an active TCP/IP
connection). But today I was working on another machine (XP Pro) and I
observed that the access to the same network drive was taking much
longer than usual. Now suspecting some recent patch or configuration
change on the server, I came to the server console and checked the
list of sessions in the Computer Management snap-in. One thing caught
my attention: there where at least three sessions (including one from
my laptop) that have a blank username (the first column) even when the
computer name and the rest of the information is there.
have you experienced something like this? What could be the problem?
any help will be appreciated.
