Disabling a networked PC from going offline...

The current problem that we have is that our PCs
sporadically go offline and lose connection / don't
synchronize with our primary domain controller. this
causes our users to manually synchronize when they are
trying to use shared resources like file access and
printing and continues to go offline sporadically after
that. Since this is an options trading company and things
need to be done fast and quick, this "going offline" issue
is a problem. I understand that in Windows XP, I can
uncheck the "Enable this computer to go offline"
preventing it from going offline whatsoever. However, I am
not sure how to do that in Windows 2000. Does anyone have
any idea on how to do that? Is there an easy way to set
the PCs to never go offline in both XP and 2000 without
having to wait for the "goinig offline" error message to
come up?

Are ther error message recorded in the event log on the Win2k boxes? Are
the workstations domain members? Are they laptops?
