NO!!! this is the stuff that data corruption is made of. There *must* be a
backslash between the drive designator and the path.

HSV:drive:\path\filename

And this will not give you a network connection. This is the Windows local
protocol - it will work ONLY on the server and it will cause crashes with
multiple connections, e.g. by a server application in n-tier architecture.

I think the problem here will have to do with one or more of the following:

the protocol stack on the client machines - perhaps interference from
multiple NIC cards and/or modems; IPX/SX being present in the stack and
possibly higher up.

Wrong version of gds32.dll in the system folder of the clients. It's very
likely that the admin tools that *work* have their own local copies.
