net config server /autodisconnect

[Geoff Briedé]

Hello All,

Can anyone tell where in the registry one can find the key pertaining to:
net config server /autodisconnect ?

The Windows Knowledge base makes the point that if you change the values
through a command prompt or the Network Management snap-in you defeat the
auto configuration ability of the system and suggests making the change
through the registry editor. It doesn't tell you where to find the entry
though.

I'd like to change the value so that none of my computers disconnect - it's
an Xp Pro and Windows 2000 network but I only have 6 machines and find it
annoying when the machines drop out of their place in the workgroup window
after 15 minutes or so.

Is there a value to input which would stop them from disconnecting?

TIA.

Regards,

- Geoff

run net config /HIDDEN:NO

Then run regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
