Re: Disconnect Net User from Server

thk a million for the reply. appreciate it!

i found a command: net config server /autodisconnect:x, where x represents
the minutes the server pc will disconnect the connection when the guest pc is
not using/assessing the shared folder.

it works well with Win 98 OS, but for XP, it doesn't work sometimes. i guess
MS know that people will may continue to use this command to avoid using MS
Server OS, so they modify something to the XP OS.

So is there any reason why for XP OS, the command, mentioned above, work
only sometimes.

Is that a command need to be keyed into the guest pc in order for the
autodisconnect command to work well?

Thk for suggesting using MS server OS. I do not want to use MS Server OS,
because my network server (15-16 PCs) is not very heavy, it is just for
transferring of files, there is no sharing of software or printer. At no
time, there will be ten persons transferring files at the same time.
