Just a quick thought after looking at Novell's web page yesterday.

Are you ising Win 95/98 ZEN client 3.1?

If you are, there is an issue regarding some circumstances (the TID didn't
explain which ones) where the client will open multiple copies of the same
file on the server, and close just one.  Eventually the server will hang.

If this is the case, you will need the client service pack 2.  NW 4.x
servers will need to be patched (patch included in SP7) as well.

I haven't got the exat URL, but if you look at the top 1200 tech docs, you
will probably see it somewhere in the top 10 !
