>>>>>I have a couple of users that get error 1104, error reading file. Usually this happens on a network station, which tells me that their network connection was lost. The perplexing part is how could the error get logged into the error table if the network were down? Any ideas out there? TIA.

Otherwise if all machines are set to auto, there is supposed to be extra network overhead as elections are held and the browse list gets passed between machines. I think this is the scenario you are referring to. What I'm not sure about is when all the machines are set to disabled. Wouldn't that make it impossible to browse the network? Thanks for you help.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. But I think the recommended configuration for a mixed 95/98 network is to make sure NONE of the 95 stations are set to be Browse Master, and leave that up to a 98 machine.

If that doesn't improve the situation, you really probably have a bad network component, more than likely a cable problem would my first suspect to check out.
