Hi There,

I have a small network setup with 2 PC's, and a Windows Server 2003 server.
The Win2K3 machine is a PDC, everything works fine as regards the domain,
the client machines can login ok, they can get to shared drives, print to
the shared printer etc etc.

The problem occurs after about 8 hours, the client machines seem to lose
domain authenticity which manifests itself in the client machine not being
able to view shared drives or print on the shared printer. The only remedy
I've found is to log out on the client and back in, everything is fine for
another 8 hours or so.

I have seen many posts on the subject but never found anything that
pinpointed the issue. I have also tried many recommendations including
setting the PDC as the main DNS server, WINs server and DHCP server - its
all of those right now. Still it doesn't work.

Its really most annoying, can anyone help?

Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Cheers
Jonathan
