osx panther drops connection to NT server

[buzinc]

Has anybody come across this. I have a customer with a new G5 OSX 10.3.8. On the network is an NT server. Panther drops the server every 20mins or shorther. The server is via DHCP. If i assign an ip address the same thing happens. It also happens with my linux box, any ideas?

What type of NT server is it NT 4.0, server 2000, or server 2003?

nt

the server is NT 4 with service pack 4. Linux box is Redhat 8. The connection is solid with any version of Jaguar, it is panther that is not a happy bunny

Well since you said the Linux box does this too. I highly suggest putting the latest service pack on there for security it is very dangerous to not have the latest service pack, as well as fixing this problem, the upgrade is know to fix some issues with network connections.
