>>Here's a strange issue we are running into with one client... Fox data is on the server. When one user logs in, everything is fine. If another user logs in, something happens and all users lock up, eventually getting a message that files cannot be accessed. It doesn't happen every time, but we did see it ourselves, right after the client rebooted all machines, including the server. Seems like some kind of locking issue.

>>* The server is 2008, but workstations are Windows XP, so we don't think SMB2 is the issue. We asked them to disabled SMB2 on the server just the same, and they told us they did.

Combination of Transaction and oplocking ?
Try with all dbc's set to readonly
Set tablevalidate ?
