NT4 Clients getting error 3013

["Schäfer, Axel"]

Strange enough. Did you check out the event monitor at the NT computers?

Search the Microsoft Knowledgebase and found a report, very similar to your
problem. You may look at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q163/4/01.asp

It says there:

"
These popup messages may also be accompanied by one or more of the following
event log messages: 

        Event ID: 3013
        Description: The redirector has timed out to <Servername> 

   CAUSE

   By default, when the Windows NT redirector opens a file for read or
read/write access, the redirector utilizes the Windows
   NT system cache. Therefore, when data is written to the file, it is
written to the cache and not immediately flushed to the
   redirector. The cache manager flushes the data at a later time. If an
unrecoverable network error occurs while the data is
   being transferred to the remote server, it may cause the write request to
fail and the above application popup to occur. 


   RESOLUTION

   WARNING: This procedure should first be tested in a non-critical
environment before being implemented into a production
   environment. In general, this change will slow down network I/O. 

   You can disable Network Redirector File Caching by performing the
following steps: 

   WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall
   Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems
resulting from the use of Registry Editor can
   be solved. Use this tool at your own risk."

And then the procedure follows, involving some fiddling in the registry.

Take a look and be happy.
