Subject: Macs losing connection to 2.15c NetWare server

We have in-house two file servers, both running Advanced Netware
v2.15c.  One file server is a bullet-proof Compaq 386 with an Nl1000
AppleTalk card installed.  The other server is an xyz-clone 386 with
an NE2000 ethernet card installed.  Both Macs and PCs access the
server through this card.

Both servers have the NetWare for Mac v1.1 VAPs installed.

Mac users can interact with the first server with no problems (except
speed :-).  We use PhoneNet PLUS to talk to the Nl1000 card.

Mac users trying to access the other server through the Ne2000 card
invariably lose connection through AppleShare - especially when trying
to move data to the logged disk.  I just tried copying an MS Word
folder from my Mac's hard disk to the NetWare volume and received the
following error messages:

"The file "filename" couldn't be written and was skipped (the server
is no longer connected)."  

I clicked on the "CONTINUE" button and more files startedimoving
across.  Later, the following message appeared:

"FINANC2 in accounting" file server's connection has unexpectedly closed down.

After clicking the OK button, the volume icon went away and I truely
was disconnected from the server.

Any clues from Mac/Novell neophytes out there?
