XP Pro, SP2
After boot, My Computer shows 4 drives as "Disconnected Network Drive"s.
This is a fairly recent syndrome.
Clicking on the drive brings up the directory and My Computer then shows the
drives as connected.
SOME programs, when trying to access these "disconnected" drives function
normally. Other programs believe the disconnect status and refuse to even
try.
After connecting, sometime during the day the "Disconnected" status returns.
Removing the drives, then re-mapping does not remedy the problem. Of course
the mappings are marked "reconnect at logon." There is a single user who
never logs off.
This oddity does not appear on other XP machines, all mapped to the same
location on an always-on Win2000 Server box.
The Win2000 Server box has had its share parameter changed from "unlimited"
connections to a finite number and back again with no apparent effect.
Any idea what could be causing the "disconnected" business?
