File server: Windows 2000 Server (Active directory)
User: Windows 98 / Windows XP professional
Office: Office 97 / Office 2000

When some Windows XP user open an excel file in the share
directory, she can edit and save it.
But after she save the file, both Windows 98 and Windows
XP can't open the excel file again.
The file will be release after one day, or we manually
kick out the user in server manager.
Any people have the same experience?

There may be a problem in negotiating SMB signing, or another process may have the
file open and locked. For more information see the following Web Pages, Microsoft

More Information about SMB packets and OpLocks:

Digital signing of SMB packets prevents "man-in-the-middle" attacks that modify
SMB packets in transit. For more information see:

Opportunistic Locking is a performance enhancing file locking scheme that (among
other things) allows the network redirector to cache remote files locally which helps
to reduce network traffic. Depending on the file operations that are taking place
disabling Opportunistic Locking may cause a decrease in performance. For more
