Hello,
Have a network of WinXP machines. One acts as a server with the others
constantly trying to copy files onto it. When the shared drive on the server
is unavailable the other PCs grind to a halt. CPU usage goes up to 100% and
the specialist software that does all the copying becomes unresponsive.
This is bad news because from time to time the server will be unavailable
due to hardware or software issues and the clients still need to work as if
nothing has changed. All the files will be polled up to the server when it
becomes available again anyway.
Any ideas as to how to change this behaviour?
Cheers,
Mark
