I would urge you to try to find the problem first.  IMO this is probably a
network problem.  NIC's are the first suspect.  Start
checking the MDW to see who was logged on when it crashed.  If that doesn't work
log users in and out of a log file in a seperate
mdb.  Usually this traces down to one or two users who have machine/OS/software
problems.  Is the network TCPIP?  Look at the Hubs.
Are them dumb hubs or switched routers?  Database programs demand much higher
quality than most other apps.
