I am presently supporting users who connect to our Network using Nortell's Extranet Access Client. I have a remote user (developer) who is mapping drives to both an IIS server and shared resources on separate W2K servers.

His mapped drives to the IIS disconnect, and he is unable to reconnect without a complete reboot. His mapped drives to any other server on the network connect and disconnect as they should.

Is IIS particularly sensitive to a remote connection via VPN? Why?

At what point does it disconnect or does it ever connect? Is IIS snap-in loaded in MMC. It shouldn't have any problems though. How are you connecting PPTP, PPP, ?

Greetings,

On the two mapped drives, try assigning a different and permanent IP address. My guess is that it's assigning a static IP that's not resetting itself.
