I wonder if this problem is related to Netware.   We've had the same problem
with serveral Windows 2000 clients and Networker 7.1.1;  namely,  the Group
will remain running and be stuck on the client.  The group inactivity
timeout doesn't seem to kick in.   While its usually a client problem (a
reboot needed on the client) it would seem 7.1.1 has this problem much more
then 6.1.3.

Next time it happens I'm going to shutdown the client software and see if
the group inactivity timeout kicks in with no possible way to communicate
with the client??

Sorry I could help much with the Netware case..
