Database Sharing Problem

The company that I work for is sharing a database on a peer to peer network.
It is just on a shared folder on the drive, as far as I know.

A user can access the database for a short amount of time, then it locks
them out. I have talked to the users and it says: "Disk network error" or
"library cannot be found"

Any suggestions on what this could be, and how I can change the status of
this.
As of now, the only way to fix the problem is to reboot the machine that the
database is on, and sometimes this can be three to four times a work day.
 
I've seen too many problems with Access and peer-to-peer networks. If either
machine is flakey, Access has problems. I won't even take a job anymore
unless the customer has a good, wired network.

In a nutshell, ditch the peer-to-peer or just allow the one individual with
the dabase on their machine to use it.
