<p>This is just the case I still wonder now what the cause really is. By the fact that there is 5 clients and 1 server in the network behind a router. All of clients are running Windows XP professional and the server runs Windows Server 2003 for file backing up and file server.</p>

<p>The problem is only one-pair of them has a problem. The computer <strong>x1</strong> rarely sees the <strong>x3</strong> one and sometimes <strong>x3</strong> is accessible but with very sluggish speed--almost 2 minutes waiting just to browse the file in explorer. Nonetheless <strong>x1 </strong>is accessible on <strong>x3 </strong>perfectly.</p>
<p>You may want to know that any other pairs don't have this problem. Even though <strong>x1</strong> and <strong>server</strong> or with <strong>x5 </strong>or <strong>x3 </strong>with anyone. ping is good, time is less than 3 ms with anyone except the problem pair.</p>
<p>To alleviate the random problem like this, I really have no idea much. So, I have tried to change the file sharing to be more advanced and add the user 'everyone' and 'administrator' into the share permission. I forget to let you know that every single computer on the network uses 'administrator' as a login and they have the same password but the <strong>x3</strong> one which normally use another user name as a login and administrator doesn't have any password. However, I have changed the password of administrator to be the same as others already. For you guys who wonder about firewall on <strong>x3</strong>, it's installed Norton Firewall and I did turn off to prevent a problem but frankly the problem was not gone.</p>
<p>But, then, it still has the same problem. I really frustrate with the windows network for the first time, not because it's working or not working, but because the symptom happens randomly so I couldn't figure out why it really is. When I go fixing, it seems works just fine. Nonetheless I use the alternative--set the <strong>x3 </strong>as a fixed IP--to solve this and it seems help.</p>
<p>After that, I haven't heard they have a problem again which could mean two things: the problem was solved or they don't believe me fixing that again :-/ ha ha ha if anyone passing by has any idea or else, please let me know. Thanks!</p>
