Now these are guesses but it could be that you either have a corrupted database file try repair and compact or maybe even a hardware issue like bad NIC cards giving flaky network connection dropping. How are you sharing the database is it a 'split' database that is to say one having a front and backend datafile? Is it a small database or fairly huge?. Many issues could cause on a network so this is somewhat imprecise unfortunately.

Does this client computer have network access to the Access database? Can you rename the file via Windows explorer?
