"The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken."

[Anonymous]

Hi,
we’re currently sharing project files (Avid Media Composer, non-linear editing application) on an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.3.5. All clients (MC 11.0.7) are running Mac OS 9.2.2 and are connected to the network via AFP over TCP/IP (DHCP). Everything seems to be okay but… when digitizing long clips (30 min.) or importing/exporting “big” clips the application freezes: The network connection has been broken and the application cannot save the project (auto-save). Finder tells: “The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken.”

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Martin

Try changing the "control panels ->TCP/IP" settings on the OS 9 machine to Ethernet (rather than PPP). OSX requires the mac you want to connect to to have an IP address.
