We are using Mac OS X (10.1.5) to connect to 2000 server
apps and we find we loose the connection if macs are idle
for more than 7 minutes. The software vendor of the
application in question said to increase the network
timeout on the server. Is there a HOWTO on that topic
anywhere?

Thanks, Joan

In essence though you could do the following:- Please
backup the registry key before you make a change because
you could kill such.

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit (Windows 2000
or Windows Server 2003) or type regedt32 (Windows NT 4.0),
and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following key in the
registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service
s\lanmanserver\parameters
3. In the right pane, click the autodisconnect value,
and then on the Edit menu, click Modify. If the
autodisconnect value does not exist, follow these
steps:

1. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
REG_DWORD.
2. Type autodisconnect, and then press ENTER.
3. Click Hexadecimal.
4. In the Value data box, type ffffffff, and then
click OK.
