If anyone can offer any suggestions for a problem I'm having, it would
be greatly appreciated....
Our small business has a network with a a server running Win 2000
Server version, and we have 5 workstations, each running WinXP Pro. We
have a router for our LAN as well. Lately, our workstations have been
loosing connections with the mapped network drives on the server. One
suggestion I found was to increase the value of the autodisconnect
function in the windows registry file. It doesn't seem to be working,
although I only changed it recently. When the connections get lost,
opening up "My Computer" will show a red X on the network drives, and
double-clicking on them does nothing. For now, I simply reboot the
server and log back in & out of the workstations. Our tech support guy
reccomended installing a domain controller on the server. Even though
our network is setup as a Workgroup, I would think that having updated
all workstations to XP Pro would help to avoid this problem. If anyone
can provide suggestions about similar experiences, I would be
grateful!
Thanks,
Tom
