I have win xp sp2.
I have a mapped network drive mapped to: \\server\share\folder and it is mapped as the L drive.
After some time it shows the drive as Disconnected. When this happens, the program that needs to use it does not work because it thinks it is not there.
Any ideas on ways to make it never go to disconected status?
thanks |

thanks Not much information to go on here. |
If the computer is loosing contact with everything then it might be worth looking into power settings to see if the network card is being shut down. Check the pc's log files to see if a fault is turning up somewhere, like a service shutting down and possibly restarting.
If only the shared folder is loosing contact then I'd suggest looking into the server to see if it has an idle disconnect feature set. Possibly on the shared folder or at the individual user level. |
