Re: connection dropped after a while



This usually doesn't cause any problems. Either case the default timeout is
15 minutes. From a command prompt on the *server side*
net config server /autodisconnect:-1
for no disconnect.

Setting this from the command line may turn off auto tuning for the server
service. So a better solution is to navigate to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

and set the Reg_DWord hex value of
"autodisconnect"=ffffffff

If "autodisconnect" doesn't exist, Add it.
