Some PCs lose connection to server W2K3

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,
On a new Win2003 network, we have a few PCs (XP Pro) that lose their
connection to the server from time to time (usually several days). They can
no longer get to the shared drive. A reboot of the PC solves this. Any
idea why or how I can troubleshoot this?

Thx,

D
