Does anyone have the solution for a workstation that drops its drive mapping after 30-45 minutes? NT 4.0 Server with WIN2000 workstations. This only happens on one workstation on the network. We are running timeout command on both server and workstation.
Workstation has service pack 2 and all critical updates installed.

Having the same problem. Went to the MS knowledge base and found two articles (Q138365 and Q297684). Tried the recommended solutions and they didn't work. Finally called MS support and was walked through several steps from starting in safe mode to updated the NIC driver. Still didn't work. Was then told it is a known issue and might be corrected on future update. Probably not the answer you wanted but that's what they said!!!!!

Try this on the server side and client side.

Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lan manserver\parameters
Double click autodisconnect
Set to decimal and set the number of minutes (from -1 to 4294967295)
Click OK
Close the registry editor
Reboot the machine
You can also configure from the command line but registry is preferred as it does not interfere with any of the built-in tuning:

Net Config Server /autodisconnect:60 would disconnect after 60 minutes. Valid is from -1 to 65535.
To turn off the disconnect set to -1 (registry or net config command), DON'T set to 0 as it will autodisconnect all the time!

this will work
