Dealing with ghost clients

Ray,

I have been using your method for dealing with ghost clients as published in the June 2006 Inside Sesame. It does the trick but the person or machine causing the ghosting is not consistent and I can not isolate the reason for the ghosting. I have methodically logged what machine, the user, the application, what the user was working on and can not find a common link of any type.

Do you have any suggestions on a method to figure out the cause of the ghosting?

As always Thanks for the help,

Robert

Hello Robert,

DHCP or Static IP addresses?
Wireless or wired network?
If there a firewall on the server?
Is there a firewall on the client?
When ghost clients are created is it one at a time or several at the same time?
Any strange behavoir that your users are seeing?
Are they ghosted while the Sesame client is open or after Sesame is closed?

If it happens to any of your clients regardless, I'd start looking for something they all have in common - like a hub, a router, a switch, the network card in the server, or the wire from server to switch or hub, possibly the server's port in the hub or switch.
