I've got about 8 machines on our local network. Just setup
a new system, connected system to our server(win2kadvanced
server), everything works like a charm however 2-3 times a
day sometimes more when accessing anything across the
network the machine will act like it has lost connection,
and it becomes a complete slug. I've swapped NIC's, and
swapped ports on the hub. As well as swapped switches.
Running a complete test on the cable right now, but I
doubt that will fail at all. This ONLY happens to the new
system. It is running Win XP Pro.

Any Idea's?

Thanks
Mike

Why some mapped network drives show a red x

SYMPTOMS: You find that the network drive mapping may be disconnected after
15 minutes of inactivity and Windows Explorer may display a red "X" on the
icon of the mapped drive. However, if you double-click it reconnects
quickly.

RESOLUTION: by default, idle connections will be dropped after 15 minutes.
To modify idle time, at a command prompt using net config server
/autodisconnect: minutes. For example, to set the Autodisconnect value to
30 minutes, you would run the following command line: net config server
/autodisconnect:30. If you would like to turn Autodisconnect off, do net
config server /autodisconnect:-1.
