disconnects mapped drive

[vaibhav wadekar]

Hi ,

all of u guys

one of our site uses one SBS 2000 server, one novell 4.11
server , and 38 windows 98 clients


basically the customer uses a ERP applcation named prosys

i mapped the prosys directory as a drive from windows 98
clients but


after some time the drive disconnects automatically


it is an intermidiate problem

the networking i mean all the cables and switches are
tested

please help me as early as possible

I am having the same problem on my network, only it seems
to happen primarily with 2000 machines connecting to
netware volumes. 98 machines will reconnect without a
hitch, but 2000 will give me error messages several times,
and then open the map. Anyone seen this or have a fix????

No, but I did remove IP from the client and it seems to
help.

I have the same problem only it is with DOS clients. and
DOS does not Auto-Reconnect. it is a W2k\FPNW5 member
server on a large domain and the application that the DOS
machine is running is a primary application that can't be
easily rebooted.

Been working on this for about 4 months and would
appreciate anyones input.

Thanks,
