Network Disconnection

[Guest]

Dear all,

One of my XP pro sp2 client pc keeps disconnect from the server or shared
resources, I have disabled the power management feature from device manager
to this device but still doing the same. I cannot suspect cable or other
server issue because from the same station we were using win2k without any
single issue.
Needless to say all the drivers are MS certified...

pls some one can give me an advise on this

Regards
Anver

could be the autodisconnect issue. this may help, quoted from http://www.howtonetworking.com/mapping.htm
Why some mapped network drives show a red x

SYMPTOMS: You find that the network drive mapping may be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity and Windows Explorer may display a red "X" on the icon of the mapped drive. However, if you double-click it reconnects quickly.

RESOLUTION: by default, idle connections will be dropped after 15 minutes. To modify idle time, at a command prompt using net config server /autodisconnect: minutes. For example, to set the Autodisconnect value to 30 minutes, you would run the following command line: net config server /autodisconnect:30. If you would like to turn Autodisconnect off, do net config server /autodisconnect:-1.
