Re: SBS 2003 Dropping Connections

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Two separate issues:

a) for the not enough disk space issue - check the quota's for the drive.
b) offline - which icon is saying this? Is it 'offline-folders', or is it Outlook? If outlook, it could be a non-network issue.

I have had a few users tell me that their Windows XP Pro machines will sometimes tell them they are disconnected from the SBS server. How they know this is

1) an icon may appear in the system tray telling them they are "offline".
2) I also had 1 user using Quickbooks open a QB file stored on the server when when they tried to save it said "not enough diskspace" which tells me they are currently disconnected.

Why are the connections not staying open and static to the server for mapped drives/network resources?

Thanks!
