DCSERVER----HUB X----RRASSERVER---HUB Y--CLIENT Y--CLIENT Y
try to access DCSERVER from HUB Y clients. Intermittent problems / copies

I have a setup a simple network with 2 W2k3 servers, 3 clients and 2 hubs.
All NICS Autodetect, one segment 192.168.1 and the other 192.168.0.. I have
both servers (a DC and a member server with RRAS) and one client(not used in
this sample) on one hub X, and the other 2 clients on the other HUB Y with
the member server's other NIC plugged into that one also. (to route). I
logon to the DC from both of the Y clients on HUB Y and look at a explorer
directory listing window of the files on the DC. .simple enough..then start
a copy (a group of files) from ONE of the HUB Y clients.. simple enough..
This works. HOWEVER, If I just CLICK a folder on the other HUB Y client's
explorer window of DC files, it stops the the other Y client's copy with the
error ERROR COPYING ...NETWORK NAME IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Whats up with
that? I reversed and tried copying files from the DC using the other Y
client, copies fine until I try to access a folder or other resource on the
DC from the other Y client, it kills the copy on the other client INSTANTLY.
PINGS are fine between all computers. Only one of the HUB Y computer's can
copy files at a time. Is this normal? Can only one machine at a time route
through a Windows 2003 RRAS server with 2 NICS and copy data or do other
stuff reliably? I reinstalled all machines, changed out NIC cards with same
results.? What gives?? I'm very frustrated... I also posted this in 2000
networking....Any help appreciated..!

it could be hardware configuration issue.
