Loss of mapped Home drive in Corporate Svr 2003 / win XP environme

[Guest]

I've seen this before in corporate environments, but never enough to generate
my question. Now, I have a user on an XP Pro SP2 machine who's constantly
losing her mapped home directory. this is an issue because her .pst file for
Outlook is stored there.
Sometimes it's fixed with a system restart.
Sometimes just by logging back in.
Sometimes she loses the drive while working during the day.

Someone suggested "NDM user" ???
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

One thing to check is that the Control Panel power options is set to always
on and that in the network adapter properties if there is an option under
power management for the computer to shut down the adapter to save power,
be sure that is disabled and also check the advanced settings of the adapter
for any weird power saving modes. If you see anything that has CAM as an
option select it because it means constantly awake mode. If none of that
helps I would try changing the network adapter in the computer.
