I would go into the Network Connections and select the network adapter on the server. On the Microsoft File and Print item, select properties. And make sure the settings are optimizes for file and print sharing. Next you could pull up perfmon and see what the network usage is for the box, and number of SMB sessions that are on the box. Also you could be seeing MBLAST related issues. NIC settings on the server could be a problem, if the settings are set to auto negotiate, and the switch port is either not set or set differently. Finally Disk subsystems are very important when you have more than one person connecting to the drive. IDE is optimized for 1 or 2 concurrent users.

I'm using a Windows 2000 Server computer as a File Server but sometimes people have trouble connecting to it and they are on the local network. This network is very very small (about 10 users) and yet sometimes some people cannot connect to the file server so I'm wondering if there is a Maximum number of connections preventing people from connecting at times or what else can be the problem that people can't see the server? It seems to be unstable. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thank You - Richard S.
