Occasionally our computers would freeze up for a few seconds (cant Ctrl Alt Del) and immediately following there'd be error messages such as
"This IMAP command could not be sent to the server before the connection was terminated" in Outlook Express, or
"Network path not found" in Explorer.
Almost immediately after, the connection will be restored.
Our network specs:
16-port 10/100 Switch
4-port Zyxel router connected to uplink port of switch
3 servers (P4 1.8s for mail & pdc/file share; slow K6-233 for print serving but is about to be replaced by a P4 as well)
6 workstations, all running Win2k SP3 except mine (XP)
how can I accurately narrow the problem down? My guess would be the switch as it is a generic/cheap model. Any ideas?
