Network Not Found and/or Invalid Handle

Oftentimes when performing a "Get latest version" operation recursively on a project, VSS 2005 Explorer will stop and display a "Network Not Found" op-up window and sometimes when I acknowledge this window, VSS Explorer will resume the get operation and some other times, it will display another pop-up; "Invalid handle" and stop.

The VSS DB is configured to support the LAN and internet plug-in and the web.config file has been configured with a 3600 second time-out.

Is there a way to configure (registry hack ) VSS Explorer to have a specified time-out value

regards,

Gaetan Simard

    These errors indicate problems with the network. VSS Explorer is simply accessing files from the network share and can be sensitive to packet drop outs...

    The only thing I can suggest is to use more reliable network L

    Yes Roman is right, this problem usually occurs due to extra traffic or some hinderances in Network. Ask your network administraor for a smooth flow of traffic. It will resolve the problem.

    Further you can check your VSS machine, problem in your VSS machine<load, system hault etc> can also produce results like that.
