Hi,

Try this at the server.

Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\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!
