I have a win2k server w/sp2 and am running 9x/ME/2kpro workstations. Initially the mapped drives to the server are connected, but periodocally they get the "disconnected red X". This causes problems for our apps that run from the server. What would cause this disconnect/not available drive??

Make sure when you name your drives they do not have the same letters in the name as the client is using locally. I had the problem when my clients CD drive were named D: and I mapped a drive to my server calling it "d on server1 (F:)" Even though the mapped drive was (F:) it doesn't like the d. If this is similar try changing the Client drive letters to something different.
