event id 50 on XP clients (status code: c000020c -- DISCONNECTED)

Ok this is happening on many XP machines and the number goes up daily.
Everytime they try to save to a network share, DFS and non DFS. It's
not happening to our 2k boxes.

I placed a call to Microsoft about this and they sent me the hotfix
for Q321733, which DID NOT help the situation at all.

Anyone else seeing this? If so did you ever resolve it?

I saw a posting about this on
microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
which never received a reply, and is now a dead thread, yet the
support rep at ms claims that nobody has ever reported it.

Here's the excepts from the log:

I didn't really suspect the server because it would be happening to
everyone then, but microsoft's q article 293842 seems to suggest that
may have been it. That article claims the fix is included in SP3, the
server is at SP3, so that's at least a dead end.

This actual error is coming from many (more popping up each day since
the RPC patch was deployed) XP machines ....
There is a similar looking qarticle for XP, but the status code I'm
getting in event viewer is c000020c (DISCONNECTED) and not
c000022c(ACCESS DENIED) as the below article describes
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321733

Disabling write cachine on the machine did not resolve the issue, and
I tried their suggestion of lowering the UDMA in the bios, only to
find that the machines would then not even save files locally. Also
for the record, these machines already have SMB signing disabled.

I have had this problem for months and can not find a solution. I
create install files for our Goldmine Contact Management system. I am
writing to a network drive. After about 2-3 hours of constant writing
it crashes. Before SP1 was installed, I could create a file that took
36 hours to create. Hope we hear positive news soon. I also tried
the hotfix for the 22C error and I also have the 20C error.
