printer issue

[yasou]

We are running Windows 2003 Server and in one office and have 3 PC's that are
running XP PRO. Two of the PC's have no problem connecting to the printer
connected to the server. The other PC gets kicked out over night and can not
access the printer the next morning. If I delete the printer and restart the
PC I can then add the printer from the server and it works again until the
next day. This is a frustrating problem, any suggestions??

Thanks, Chris

On the problem XP machine, in device manager, Properties of the Ethernet
card that connects to the server, Power management tab, uncheck the option
to allow power down.

Mark, I forgot to mention that the pc's connect to the the server through a
wireless router. I had the same problem this morning on the problem pc. I'm
getting the cannot connect, access denied message. I deleted the printer,
restarted the pc added the printer back and it works fine now, but tomorrow
morning I'll go through the same process again.

Then I would look at the device used to wirelessly connect, for a power
setting like that.

Mark I will check, but the 2 other pc's in the office are ok and use the same
wireless router.

Each PC have their own wireless settings. If the wireless adapter is
conencted by a USB connector, check the USB port seting in Device
Manager and uncheck "Let XP turn the power off while idle..."
