It order to "help" the "user" (who is, of course, stupid), Windows benevolently drop network connections that are idle, regardless of whether there are files open. Open a Windows Explorer and see if you can see windows share icons with red "X" icons superimposed on them. A single-click should make the red X disappear. Based on the OS you find, search for "Windows shares time out" should give you some leads on what needs to be altered on the workstation. I think it's something like "Windows Networking Discovery" or something benign-sounding like that. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4vmkvr+zgkvx7fopoa6k1dtji9ktbxrvece13j7eed...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
