win9x workstations lose connection overnight

We are switching from Novell to Windows 2003. We have around 150
workstations, of which 50-60 are winXP and the rest are win98. We've had
quite a few issues with the conversion but I'm slowly getting them resolved.

The issue this post is about is that during the night, the win9x
workstations lose their connection to the 2003 server. When users come in the
next day, they get access denied errors when they click on any mapped network
drives. The winXP workstations don't seem to have this issue.

This is a problem because the users have scripts which are scheduled to run
during the night. The scripts are failing with "path not found" errors
because the mapped drives are disconnected. If I run the scripts manually
during the day, they run flawlessly.

What is the best way to keep the connection between the server and win9x
workstations alive overnight?
