xp laptop wireless drops drives

Hi,

I have an xp laptop that will logon to a 2003 domain fine. Script gives me
around 8 drives.

After about 30 minutes of logon with no activity it drops about 5 of the
drives. They are mapped to non-server machines. The drives mapped to my
servers are fine.

Anyone have any ideas what's happening? This does NOT happen on a wired
connection. The only other difference is the laptop is using DHCP and my
wired machines are mainly static IP's.

Thanks!

Hello,

are you battery ? wifi driver may idle the wifi connection to save powers.
On these workstations, you may change the idle session timeout:
net config server /autodisconnect:-1

I tried this, but I still have the same problem. Drives are becoming
inaccessible after some time. It's only certain drives on workstations. All
my drives on the servers I never lose.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Forgot to mention that the internet works great over this connection. It's
network connectivity that's the intermittent issue.

Thanks!
