CiP Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Using: Windows Server 2003 and XP Pro clientsHello,Does anyone have the problem of shared drives losing their connection and having the Login / Password come up? This is happening after being logged on for a while. I keep my PC's on overnight and when I come in in the morning, the connection is usually lost. Usually not to the server, but to other PC clients. I am using a Linksys router running as a Gateway, not a router. My network is on Static IP addresses, not DHCP. Also I am not running DHCP on the router.Thanks!

rion Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Try to change autodisconnect in the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters to 0xffffffffThis is on the server that you should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rion Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Dunno realy, but ..uhm, test the gpoedit to see if it's anything there that you can change.There is a knowledgebase article on this issue on http://support.microsoft.com.. but you have to search for it!
