Event ID: 3013
Description: The redirector has timed out to <Servername>
-or-
Event ID: 8007
Description: NetWare redirector timed out its request to server
<Servername>
CAUSE
By default, when the Windows NT redirector opens a file for read or
read/write access, the redirector utilizes the Windows NT system cache.
Therefore, when data is written to the file, it is written to the cache and
not immediately flushed to the redirector. The cache manager flushes the data
at a later time. If an unrecoverable network error occurs while
the data is being transferred to the remote server, it may cause the write
request to fail and the above application popup to occur.
