My guess would be disk errors ... caused by directory or other damage.
Error codes 33-61 are all file system errors ... which usually point to
disk or directory damage. Try the following:

1. Run Nortons, TechTools or whatever over the shared disks on your
network to check their state of health.

2. Then run a copy of DiskWarrior (from Alsoft) over the puppies ... it
cleans up disk errors that Nortons and TechTool don't.

3. Then do a desktop rebuild on all disks. (I use a Shareware puppy called
File Buddy for this, but you can simply hold down the Apple key, the
option and the shift keys when you do a reboot for a quick and dirty
rebuild.)

Regular maintenance always helps ... no matter what operating system you use.

Finally, if it ain't a corrupted shared disk problem then it could be an
extension or corrupt preference file problem ... check your network
extensions (particularly those on the servers) and try junking the
Preference files for those extensions.
