iSeries Navigator reconnection problem



I do some of my work at home, connecting to the company's network
through a VPN. I often work at home in the morning for a few hours
waiting for highway traffic to clear before heading into the office
after the peak commute time. I disconnect from the VPN after shutting
down things like PC5250 sessions, then put the PC on standby. Once at
the office, I connect the laptop to the docking station and I'm
immediately available to open PC5250 sessions, as well as company e-
mail, without having to log back into the network.

If I have left an iSeries Navigator session open, some functions in it
give me a connection error. Specifically, if I attempt to examine
anything in the IFS for a system I was into earlier, I get an error
"Unable to retrieve iSeries NetServer file shares"; when I click OK, I
get another, "Unable to retrieve system mount information". I keep
getting these until I shut down iSeries Navigator and reopen it.

What's the issue here, and is there any way around it?

    ... This set of steps is redundant in many places, and it's also enormously expensive, since you're using no less than three different expensive bits of networking hardware (AP, PIX, VPN Concentrator), in addition to a bunch of x86 server hardware, windows server licenses, and at least one ISA license. ... Your computers necessarily don't have full access to your network infrastructure when they aren't logged on, so GPOs, software updates, etc can't be applied at the times you want them to be applied. ... Turning on, enabling, and implementing every possible security setting and device you think of is not defence in depth, and will probably only have two effects - your users won't use your wireless network, and you'll burn so much cash you won't have any left to spend on *useful* security measures. ...
