Network drive problem

[Muruga]

Hi,

My setup is WIndows SBS 2003 Server (domain controller) and Windows XP Pro
clinets

I have 2 problems:

1. I have mapped network drive from the server to all Windows XP clinets.If
i'm not accesing it constatly after a while ( few hours) i'm loosing the
connection to the network drive.

2. After joining to the domain all the windows XP clinets taking too long to
startup and bring the desktop.

Pls Help

Thanks
Muruga.

1. Possibly due to an autodisconnect setting on the server. See here:

2. How is your DNS configured? All clients should be pointing ONLY to the
DNS server on the SBS Server, and the SBS Server DNS should be resolving any
address outside your domain.
