Re: Dell XP Oem - disconnects from 2000 server resources

i've seen a similar problem with win2k servers and a mixture of operating systems. also mainly with win98. although i have never seen it disrupt an active win2k connection while in use. and never a problem with winxp.
when the problem is happening, open windows explorer and see if the share is red signifying it is broken, then simply click on the share and see if it now becomes available.

I was never sure what exactly was causing the problem, but solved it by converting most systems at one client to XP.

I am a network admin who supports about 70 clients connecting to 3
windows 2000 servers.  About a quarter of them are running the Dell XP
pro OEM.  I have a mixture of 2000 pro, Win 98, and XP full versions.
Only the Dell XP pro OEM disconnect periodically from network resources
such as our exchange server and network shares.  The only way to fix
the problem is to log off and log back on.  Does anyone know what
causes this and how to fix it?  These PCs disconnect about 2x a day and
its affecting production.
