i have a 4 pc peer to peer network. each pc maps a network g: drive to one of
the shares on the "server" pc, including the "server" pc. each pc is running
xp pro and sp2 plus the usual plethoria of after fixes and patches.
when the "server" first boots up and the other 3 pc's connect to it i see 4
shares in the list. a little while later i see it go to 5, then 6, etc up to
10 and then the peers start disconnecting. when i click on the mapped drive
on one of the peers i get an error message saying the "server" has no more
shares to give out. i'll even see this error on the "server" pc's mapped g:
drive.
when i look at the open files list it initially has the folder name in it
that's shared, and then the list clears and has no folder names in it, the
same for the sessions list, eventhough the shares list shows that there are
shares used.
i have replaced the nics, cables and switch, scanned for malware and
viruses, and the problem still occurs. how do i find out what is causing the
shares to be depleted? are there any utilities out there that will do a
better job of displaying the share, session and open file info?
thanks in advance...
