I would try IE6.0 with sp1, this resolved similar issues I had with 5.0
and Progress Explorer.

Wow! Don't you love problems like these?
Makes you always worry its not something simple and stupid.
Out of curiosity - as a troubleshooting method only, I would try
something.... install everything on an entirely different machine. NT4
server with sp6a exact same config.
If it does the same thing there it would rule out your hardware (of
course I doubt its your hardware, but I believe its worth testing - esp.
to test your network card in case its giving you "funky" feedback).
If that works ... then you should start looking into your hardware on
that computer - esp. your nic card.
Otherwise, what all do you install? - IE 6.0 ... try 5.5 if you can.
MDAC 5.7 (I think that's the latest version). those should be normal
items on the server that I would recommend being installed. Check your
network performance if you can, make sure you're not getting any bad
feedback from the network.
These are things I can think of off the top of my head to try next,
maybe you all ready have. I'll try to think of more in the meantime, or
maybe someone else on here will know the problem and the resolution.

Thanks, everyone. This eliminates *ONE* more variable.
I've got both Vantage 5.2 and the client on this server. From the
server, I log into Vantage, and try accessing some tables (job tracker,
part tracker, shop tracker, etc.). After a while, the database just
stops, and Vantage errors out. Progress Explorer shows the database as
stopped.
I've duplicated this with both our live database (converted from 5.1 to
5.2, of course) and with Epicor's test databases.
This is a clean install of the OS. Generic server with brand name
components. No virus scanning. No backup program running. No other
programs or services running. I've reformated the drives and
re-installed everything *4* times now, with the same results.
Progress, Epicor and I have all been through the logs. Still can't find
the problem.
