Drive disconnect

I am using a Windows 2000 workstation SP4 on a SBS 4.5
server. For some reason on the Win2K workstation the
network drive keeps showing up as disconnected with the
red X through it. I can still access it but it is
continually shown with a Red X. The other Win 2K machines
on the network all SP4, show up fine as connected and no
X. Tried the Regedit autodisconnect, but that didn't help.
Seem to have no network interruptions, but wondering why
it shows as disconnected. If I disconnect the drive then
reconnect it shows up connected for a little while then
goes to disconnected. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John

Another possibility is a software conflict. A guy I worked with had this
issue crop up after I installed SAV Corporate on his machine (there was
no AV prior to this).

After trying the auto-disconnect issue, which didn't solve the problem, I
found, in a forum somewhere, someone else with this issue on 2 out of 20
machines. The only difference between these 2 and the other 18 was that
these particular 2 had Roxio CD Creator (with DirectCD) installed along
with SAV.

That was the situation I had. I installed SAV on 7 PC's that day, and
only his had this problem afterwards. Since SAV was up-to-date after a
live update, I had him check to see if there was an update for Roxio, for
which there was.

After d/l'g and applying the update, all seems fine for the past week.

Since this PC had Roxio on it for a long time already, and didn't show
this problem, it has to do with some combination of the SAV and Roxio
together as none of the other PC's have Roxio.

Just my 2 cents,

DS
