>I've not seen this happen (I don't run much under Win9x these days) but NT SP6a is out and does address several possible issues for NT Server dropping connections; it sounds like the stations are dropping because something is dying - a flakey connection or NIC in the server, another NIC on the same segment as the server 'jabbering out' and blocking the server from talking, or a network protocol getting dropped are all possible causes.

I had the same thoughts you did Ed...however...
once i removed PPTP services, the error changed to "not enough storage space"
I then did a regedit and change IRPServices to 8 and the problem went away.
Fortunately support.microsoft.com had some tech notes on this.
thanks for the input.
