Can anyone explain this one to me? I've noticed that sometimes my networked users(including myself) will see a red X over networked drives, yet they are still accessable. If you select a drive and wait a second or two, the X goes away. I'm puzzled by this. As I said... they have access to the drive and the server seems to be set up correctly, but still, the mysterious RED X
Perplexing! Any suggestions? Thanks!

You may have intermittent connections over the network connection.

Try testing the connection with ping and any network managment programs, maybe even try a cable tester as well.

Just try to start from the ground up; for example, physical, data link, network etc.

This is the Autodisconnect "feature" in 2000. See Q138365 for more information.
