The system:
	IBM Token Ring with IBM PC LAN 1.2
	11 machines on the network (XT, AT, 386)
	2 MAU units connected together

This network has been running nicely for over a year now, but all of a
sudden there is a "NET801: Remote computer not listening" error when a
workstation tries to "NET USE" the server's disk.  It's intermittent,
though, and usually a reboot will work.  There are no error messages
on the server.

Does this indicate a hardware problem?  If so, where would it be --- the
cabling, the server's network adapter, or the MAU box?

Thanks for any and all replies (Email preferred!).
