Disconnected from network share 2-3 times a day

About 2 to 3 times a day, when my PC is idle, I get
disconnected from 1 of the 3 network
shares mounted from the server. The server is running
MS2000 and my machine is running Win98SE.
2 of the network shares always stay connected.
Only 1 seems to repeatedly disconnect. The one that
repeatedly disconnects every few hours is the one I
have the My Documents mapped to from my desktop.
What could be going on and how do I keep the share alive?

Try disabling autodisconnect as shown in this article ... note that the fix
needs to be applied to the server, not to the client; you may have to reboot
the client, not the server, once applied.
