I received this from one of my clients and wonder if this problem
might ring a bell or sound familiar to anyone. Any guidance would be
appreciated.
Thanks.

Message:
We're having trouble with the database (FMP7). We're being
disconnected at our
workstations [primarily intel iMacs] , and then when we try to
reconnect, our computers can't locate
the dbase. [the database somehow closed itself - another sample
config database however, remained available on the server]
I rebooted the server FMPS 7 running on G4 tower (Mac OS 10.3.xx),
and that solved things temporarily. But within ten
minutes or so, we had the same trouble once again.
We consulted with our network tech, and he determined that the
computer hosting
the filemaker server seems to be functioning as it should (though he
plans
to come in this evening and run several disk checks). Do you have any
idea
what our problem might be?
He indicated that we might need to rebuild the dbase?

The system has been running fine for over 2 years - this issue has
just come up.
