Strange problem: we have a FMP Server running under NT4 (newest service pack), and several FMP4/Win95 clients attached (using TCP over Tokenring). Since a couple of weeks, some clients hang occasionally for no apparent reason, getting stuck in the 'network busy' icon (the little flash, not the cup of coffee). Only remody is a End Task (Ctrl-Alt-Del).

Clients are running FMP 4.0v1 and 4.0v2. Database has not changed (only gotten bigger).

Hans,try installing FMPro without the patch ... I believe that is what is causing your problem.

Which patch do you mean? The FMP 4.0v1 to v2 upgrade? Or the WinNT Service pack.

Problem is, we've run 4.0v2 also along with v1 and it never seemed to cause problems, only recently.

The FMP 4.0v1 to v2 upgrade.... Not sure why, but we experienced the same issues when we installed the patch .... no problems with some, but others hung .. we didn't have the time to look into it further, and Filemaker as uasual, was no help at all... So, we reinstalled without the patch and no more problems ... Such a novel concept !
