XP PC Disconnects Network Shares and Printers

[Steve]

Hello,
I have a user that has XP SP2 in a Windows 2003 server environment
that has to reboot her PC every morning to reconnect the printers and
drives.
Does anyone know why her PC would be dropping network shares like
this?
Thanks,
Steve

- How do you make the connections in the first place?
- What makes you think that the connections are "dropped"?

The connections are all share drives on the network, that are mapped
from the XP PC.
In the morning when she comes in and wants to print to the share
printer on the network or access the drives they are unavailable until
she either remaps or reboots.

You did not really answer the question about HOW the connections
are made in the first place, hence my advice may miss the mark. To
get robust share mappings, use explicit commands in your logon
script, e.g. like so:

net use /persistent:no
net use Q: \\YourServer\SomeShare

Is her computer going to Standby ?
