xp machine loses network shares
I have XP machine on LAN that loses maped drive after extended idle time, attempting access generates user login where you must use different user and password then you are able to reconnect. The XP machine never loses internet connection, just mapped drives and printers. Network is running off of 2000 server.

If you look in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
you will see the same controlset(s) and a select key. The select key records which subtree was used
to control the current boot. Decide from there which controlsetxxx to deal with in the other
branch set.
It wouldn't do anything to nuke them all. ControlSet, ControlSet001, ControlSet002, and ControlSet003
are just each associations for Current, Default, Failed, and LastKnownGood.

It is back still will not keep connected. After about 1 or two hours lose all printers and network shares. on all XP clients
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System
create two new DWORD values
KeepAliveInterval
KeepAliveTime
Modify KeepAliveInterval and give it a value data of 1000
Modify KeepAliveTime and give it a value data of 7200000
reboot
KeepAliveTime = time wait before sending keep alive signals
KeepAliveInterval = time between retransmissions of keepalives once the KeepAliveTime laspes
Value datas are in milliseconds so
3600000 = 1 hour
1000 = 1 second

Value datas are in milliseconds so
3600000 = 1 hour

If you still have probs start shrinking the KeepAliveTime value data
eg;
KeepAliveTime and give it a value data of 3600000
eg;
KeepAliveTime and give it a value data of 3600000

Hexidecimal number or Decimals?
ASKER
Do it to all 4 controlsets? I tried deleting three of them with no luck
>>Hexidecimal number or Decimals?<<

>>Do it to all 4 controlsets?<<
Just leave them alone. You are just creating the two new DWORD values in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System

Your very welcome.
Stubborn little dropper isn't it. For some reason things are default to drop
after 2 hours, even at that it's suppose to reacquire on it's own and I have
no idea why some machines just drop and won't reacquire. I've always
blamed it on the ether device assuming it's a chip compatibility problem
within the ether device.
I have a stack of 3COM cards and a stack of Linksys cards and if a machine
is active goofy I'll swap to the other brand and 9 out of 10 times the problem
is gone.
