The default timeout is 15 minutes. From a command prompt on the server side
net config server /autodisconnect:-1
for no disconnect.
Setting this from the command line may turn off auto tuning for the server
service. So a better solution is to navigate to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
and set the Reg_DWord hex value of
"autodisconnect"=ffffffff
If "autodisconnect" doesn't exist, Add it.

(note: it always happened with Windows NT, you just didn't notice since the
indicator didn't exist)

| Why in Win2K Pro are my network drives always showing as disconnected, yet
when I click on them, they show the contents as if there is no problem. In
addition to the Red "X" on the drive, they show as disconnected with the NET
USE command. Help?
