I personally wouldn't support a multi-user setup in a non-dedicated server environment.
Having said that, it is possible (probable) that the disk buffer on the two disparate machines are operating on the same physical row of data. How can this happen? There is no way the peer quasi-server can know the contents of the disk buffer on the other machine.. If each machine simultaneously goes to the next row (add row) in the table, then I think the aforementioned can happen. That is why they are called File Servers, cause they keep track of such (file) comings and goings in an orderly fashion. Peer to Peer is ok, but not for Multi-user, IMHO. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Lis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBG7-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:54 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - One user with a problem - revisited > Here's a similar problem: > > 2 computer peer to peer network (Win2K) 100mbs > > During order entry (point of sale) the 2nd computer will type so fast that > the previous row gets overwritten with the next row. > This is in a scrolling region. > This is a seriouis problem because then the customer is getting a free item. > > The same scenario on the 1st computer (which is the server). the same > operator keying just as fast, this does not happen. > > What can I look for? > > Bernie Lis
