    network connection suddenly drop
    « on: January 10, 2007, 12:09:17 AM »
    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I wonder what caused a network connection to drop.

    What happen is that i have a network with 6 PCs and a server. I created a mapped drive network for all 6 PCs. Today, for unknown reason, i could not access to the shared folder on the server when it's been long connected since this morning. It happen in the late afternoon by the way.

    The message i got is as follows
    "An Error occurred while reconnecting z: to \\192.168.4.2. Microsoft windows Network: The local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored."

    I usually get away with it by re-starting the PC. but i just can't do that all the time it goes down.

    Very annoying because i was in the middle of working on the file that's located in the shared folder on the server.  Now, i could not save it on the server but on the local machine.

    Does anyone know why and how to fix this?

    Thank you in advance
