Administrative share Network drives go red

[George Hester]

I have three drive on a different machine in my Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP3. They are mapped to O P Q drives respectively there. If I do not access these drives for some time the icons for these drives as seen in Windows Explorer will go red as if they are no longer connected. But they are. If I select any one of these shared drives Explorer poulates just fine with the drives on the other system (Windows 2000 Server SP4) and the red vanishes. Is this common behavior or is there something I can do to stop these shared Network drives from going red? Thanks.

OK you don't think it is a DNS issue?
