Bill,
  First off thank you for your attention to this issue.
  My drops occur when the machines are idle and when the
machines are in use. I get the following in the system log
when the drop occurs. I get exactly the same message if I
shutdown or restart the Macs without dragging mounted
volumes to the trash.
>> _______________________

  I still get the security event however I "unmount" or
logoff or get dropped.

  I tried Tony's suggestion of unmount, restarting and
remounting and it has just failed. The failure was
predictable because we have been having to work around the
connection dropping issue on a particularly large 2GB job
when trying to write Postscript from Quark over the
network. We have not had an "idle machine" drop yet but it
is very intermittent and unpredictable at this time.
  I will try to more thoroughly scour the Apple Knowledge
Base. It might be an Apple issue except that I get nearly
the identical behavior on one Win 2000 machine too, only
without the MACSVR system event.
  I also have a question regarding, "tell the the server
to stop "holding on" to the old disconnected session."
because I am getting what appear to be the correct
sequence in the security events log however I disconnect
(or get disconnected).
  Anything you can find out would be appreciated extremely
by me.

Thanks,
Chris Yates
