Gerard,

I also have a problem like this on several of our projects. It usually happen on the environment using Win 95/98 in the workstation and NT4 on the server. Based on my experience, I hardly asume that this kind of error was caused by a bad quality network signals due to bad electric power, bad radio / electromagnetic interference along the network cables, bad grounding and also BAD LUCK. I usually get rid of this problem by providing a better network approaches, such as using Ethernet Switch HUB instead of using Ethernet HUB, using better NIC, using Fiber Optics Cable and alot of prays.

I wonder if there is anybody also having this "Error Reading File " problem with Netware Server. I have noticed that I never had this problem when I was using Novell Netware.

Hope this help
Tony
