I am running in a NT40 environment.I just upgraded my 98 client to 2K Pro. When My log on script runs my mapped drives are connected but after a few minutes they will display a red X(Disconnection)When I click on the drive I can access the folders within the drive but the X will not go away until I reboot my Workstation.
Has anybody seen this?

That is by design and nothing to worry about. It's a Windows 2000 function to minimize network bandwith usage. There are ways to make the disconnect timeout longer, but it's not suggested.

I had a similar problem with mapped drives and it would create a problem when I tried to open the database that was on the mapped drive. When I installed Win2K Service Pak 3 this week- the problem was solved.
