Mapped drives keep disconnecting


Recommended Posts

Over the last few days random users have their mapped drives disconnecting with no apparent reason. Ive checked the logs and nothing is mentioned why this occurs - anyone got any ideas? if you require further info please let me know.

thanks

p.s. Windows server 2003 and WinXP SP2 (clients) with some Win 2000 pro clients

In the old times of dial up networking there used to be a utility that would keep sending out a ping request to whoever to keep the connection alive.

I believe there is a similar utility also available for local networking to keep the connection alive.

BTW first thing you have to do is disable the powersave option for the nic. Otherwise you will continue to face this problem.
