Networked Mac computers keep dropping server connections

Asked by srnowacki in Apple Networking, Snow Leopard (OS 10.6), Apple Operating Systems

Tags: Mac Tiger Snow Leopard 10.6 10.5 Network Mail Server shares

I have a client with 6 Mac workstations and an OS 10.5 server. They all use the built-in mail server and shared folders. There are no Windows servers on the network at all. The Tiger server runs DHCP, DNS and all other networked features.

The main issue is that two of the computers, one laptop and one desktop are regularly dropping their connection to the server via Mail or via the mounted share points. Rebooting the machines reconnects everything just fine. I've checked DNS, I've dug around the logs and still have no clue as to what's going on. The client computers are all using 10.6 and the server is 10.5 server.

All of the machines are connected via Ethernet cable to remove the WiFi from the mix.

The client and I are at wit's end here trying to get it fixed. People should not have to reboot their computers a couple times per day just to make things work.
