I have a client who has 2 computers on a network. They are connected by a cross-over cable and they have no internet access. First computer has Windows XP and shares an Access database with the second PC which is running Windows 98. Both machines used to be able to access the database at the same time with no problems. However they have recently recieved several "Disk or Network error[s]" on the Windows 98 PC. These errors seem to appear at random and they usually cause Access to crash. I have tried mapping the shared folder as a network drive and giving the PCs static IPs instead of using APIPA. This error occurs at random it seems and of course it never happens while I am there and so far it only happens on the Windows 98 PC.
