subject: Workstations that `hang`

Heavily routed environment.  Most of the time, when a workstation hangs and 
the user performs a reboot, the workstation connects to the file server 
without problem.
When trying anything to a particular type file (archived), the workstation 
will hang.  A reboot does not clear the connection.  The user must wait till 
the server clears the connection (5 minutes or so) before a connect request 
to the server is successful.
The question is is this the way watchdog is suspose to work?  Ie. when the 
workstation boots it is assigned the same connection by the server as it 
currently has active.  The server will deny the connection request till it 
has cleared the connection that's hung.
Suggestions on how to fix this.  I know, get rid of the archived files.  
We're trying, but it will take time.  ANyone know of a way, (other than the 
workaround posted by Novell to force the workstation to use a different mac 
address) that the workstation can connect to the server using a different 
connection?
