working with 2000 server

I am running a lab with Windows 98. Our server is 2000.
When you log on, windows connects to the server, but it
will dis-connect over a period of time. I have to totally
re-boot to connect to my data again. Is there anything I
can do to help win 98 communicate with this 2000 server.
We cannot afford to update the OS at this time.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi,

I have the same problem, I found a sollution once, but i
lost it and can't find it anymore. It had something to do
with expanding the networking time-out period on the
server side. can someone help us?

Edwin.

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.
