Delayed Write Failed saving to network

[Guest]

Hi

i currently have a user experiencing a problem thats kind of 2 errors in
one, his main one being saving a powerpoint presentation file to a network
drive. The user opens a file from the shared drive makes any changes and
tries to write it back, this sometimes works but sometimes not. Also in his
setup he has his lotus notes data held on his home drive and the rest of the
installation on his local drive so he can roam, and when he tries to save a
powerpoint file to his shared drive it takes a long while and fails, then
comes up with delayed write failed saying his lotus notes healine data cannot
write to his home drive? at current state he can only then save the
powerpoint in the same folder but under a new name.

ive tried the net config server /autodisconnect:-1 just in case he is losing
network connecting thro some kind of time out.
Iv also tried the obvious like his security privaleges to that specific
folder and reapplied them.

Any other suggestions?

How about checking network hardware - cables, network cards, switches and
such?

Had replaced PC, even tried replacing network card, making sure in settings
the card is selected to 100 full duplex, still no joy...

nothing wrong with the managed 3com switch as far as i can see, might change
his port see if makes any kind of difference.

I've been seeing this a lot at work. In our case, Autodetection of
network linkspeed between the nic and switch isn't happeneing reliably.
Try matching the port and nic manually. If the NIC is 100/full, make
sure the switch is hard coded 100/full as well. If the switch can't do
full, don't set the card that way.
