Hi,
We use Windows Server 2003 Standard edition for our server and
Windows XP for our clients at church. The laptop users have their My
Documenst folder redirected to a network share. One user gets
several "You have lost the connection to <server name>" several
times a day. There does not seem to be any reason. If she
immediately goes to Windows Explorer or browses the network in any
way. All of the network drives are there. I tried diasabling
offline fielsa nd then redoing the redirection, but it did not have
any affect. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

Veering OT, is there any reason you actually *want* or need offline files
for your LAN-connected computers? I discourage that; offline files is
problematic anyway (I've seen many people lose data and become Very Sad) and
if these aren't remote/laptop users, I just don't see the point. It's better
to have users access the data directly on the server.You don't have to use
offline files just because you use folder redirection.
