Hi all,
We are running a small Windows XP network here at my work. Our server has
XP Pro, 4 of the 5 computers networked to it are running plain XP and one
has XP Pro. We are all updated to SP2.
Occasionally, when one of us tries to start AutoCAD (LT 2002), (occasionally
meaning about three times a day) the entire network locks up - any of the
others of us who are using AutoCAD have it freeze on us. The person who
attempted to start AutoCAD eventually gets a Windows error message stating
something like "Cannot reconnect to R:\ (Server). The device name is
already in use." We have to restart the server to fix it.
Our individual computers look to the server for fonts, .ctb files, .dwt
files, plotters, .lin file, and other stuff. Basically anything that might
get modified and need for everyone to be able to have those latest
modifications is stored on the server.
This did not start happening until we upgraded the server from XP to XP Pro,
which we had to do when we added the fifth computer to our network.
Has anyone else run into this? I find nothing related when I search
Autodesk support for "Windows XP LT 2002."
Thanks
