I've seen this behavior. Maybe doing an adir() of the folder would cause the system to wake up.

It's strange because simply clicking on the drive in Windows explorer re-establishes the connection. Actually that makes me wonder if any of the WSH drive and or file interrogation APIs would work. We're using a loader/launcher to copy down the latest exe to the local PC, but that doesn't work if the connection isn't up. :) Mike > Message: 5 > Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2008 13:22:07 -0500 > From: "Alan Lukachko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: drive map re-connection > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Don't know if you're using DHCP or static IP for the network connection, but > when we had problems keeping a connection to Windows Server 2003, we > switched the workstations under Win XP Pro to static IPs.
