Thanks Al,
The lost connection is only between the w2k machine and the server.
w2k is named as directed to only 6 characters upper case.
And static addresses are what is assigned, and the server share is fully
visible to the w2k machine.
Thanks for the input. I hope to get this solved b4 June contest.
Any other thoughts from others?
thanks
Phil

I may be of no help, but give me a little more detail to chew on.
When you "link to network" which computer are you doing this from? When you
"get a lost connection in the network statys" is this for all machines, or
just the win2k machine? Does the writelog network lose connection, or does
the whole network come down? I have no technological knowledge of how
writelog interfaces with the network other than what I can see in writelog,
so I'm not sure if it's relying on it's own names to find couputers, or if
it resolves netbios names or IP addresses.
One initial thought is to make sure your computer names are vastly
different - i.e. 10-15, 20, 40, 80-160 and not hamshackcomputer1,
hamshackcomputer2 etc. Second thought is to assign static IP addresses to
each computer on the network and see if that helps.
Good Luck. Feel free to keep in touch if I can be of further help.
