Q.
Dear Ab-end: After applying NetWare 5.1 Support Pack 6 or NetWare 6 Support Pack 3, my server experiences a constant line of high utilization and my workstations experience all sorts of slowdowns as well as complete lockups. When looking in the NetWare MONITOR utility, the offending process is always one or more SERVERXX processes (with XX being a number).

Dear Lyle: At the server console prompt (or in the MONITOR utility), enter
Set Client File Caching Enabled=off
and
Set Level 2 Oplocks Enabled = off
Then reboot the server.
