There are about 150 computers running XP at my site using Netware Client 4.91 SP3. We have 5 computers running Netware 6.5 SP3 in the NDS. And this all worked pretty well until 2 and a half weeks ago.
Now, every morning we are having login issues. The client times out, saying it cannot find the tree or server. After multiple logins, the systems eventually come up, though sometimes it takes a couple more tries to get all the drives mapped. The Tree, Context, and Server (using IP) lines are all filled out in all of the clients.
Now the oddities…
1. We have two sites separated by 15 miles, but connected via T1 on the same VLAN
2. The servers are located at site one, but the folks at site two are not having the login issue, nor are the systems that connect remotely
3. Several laptop users that go between sites, only have the issue at site one
4. It is not always the same people at site one that have the issue, though it tends to focus on certain areas of the building on different days
5. It seems to be more pronounced in the morning (though this is when most people login)
6. The infrastructure folks came out and tested our switches and put a sniffer on the network, but found nothing unusualI would greatly appreciate any thoughts anyone might have.

All the systems have static IPs and can access the internet and ping the servers when logged in locally.

I am having the same issue with several of my Dell laptops. Gateways are hitting fine. Doesn't make a difference if we go wired or wireless....
