This problem is driving me crazy!! I have two win2K pro boxes connected with a crossover cable and running tcp/ip and netbui running over that. The problem I have is when I try to access lots of data, mp3s or video files. It freezes up for a minute and then gives me an error involving "Local device name already in use" and then I see the connection disconnect for a second and reconnect. At this point I wont even be able to ping one computer from the other one.
I can reconnect again by disabling the local area connection and renabling it. Sometimes I dont get the error message and it just loses the network connection and then pretty much instantly gets it back but I wont be able to ping the other computer. Any thoughts on this?
