Hi Troy,
Check the setting in the following registry key on the server:
Find "AutoDisconnect" In the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Default value is 15 minutes.
If this is a 2000/2003 server in a domain, the values are
Settings range is 0 to 4294967295 (which is 8,171 years)
We've also sene this problem manifest itself with antivirus software. Check the setting in the
registry first and then if neede,d try disabling the anitvirus.
Also be sure that the power save settings on the clients and server don't let the hard drive go
to sleep after a period of time.
Same with wake-on-lan network cards/adapters.
Hope this helps,
Gary

'--'I have a customer that has 9 XP(SP1) workstations
'--'connecting to a Windows 2000 server(SP4) domain. The
'--'problem I'm having is that when the workstations sit idle
'--'for an hour or so, they loose the mapped drive to the
'--'server. If they click on the drive icon it will
'--'eventually connect, but it takes a very long time. If
'--'they restart the computer, everything is OK.
'--'
'--'I have already tried turning the autodisconnect off on
'--'the server and that did not help the problem.
'--'
'--'The server is doing DHCP, the PCs are connected to a 16
'--'port 10/100 hub.
'--'
'--'Thanks for you help!
