Hi there,
I do have the following problem.
We are using SBS2003 with Windows XP Clients over 100Mbit Ethernet.
The users are logging on the server in the morning, an nearly exactly after
10hours they are loosing network connection to the server. I remember that
you could define on the server how long a network connection to the server
would "live" for the users. But I can´t finde the article or the information
anymore.

Or what needs to be adjusted on the Server and on the XP Clients that the
connections will last for 24 hours?

Thansk in advance
Oliver

Oliver,

Your network connections expiration setting is discussed in my article (read the
warning):

You can setup logon hours under each user's account. However, it is more likely that you have a group policy to force the users logoff.
