In case it might be of some help, here's my ham-handed attempt at reconnecting the share from the workstation that has lost the share.
This was concocted after reading for several hours about Windows Scripting.

    * this is in the ON ERROR function
    * tnErrorNo is derived early in the procedure
= Aerror(laErrorArray)
tnErrorNo=VAL(TRANSFORM(laErrorArray(1,1)))
IF tnErrorNo=1 OR tnErrorNo=1104
        * network drive has gone away
    oNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
* get list of mapped drives. this returns an object with an array property "item" * Item is a zero-based associative array of "drive letter" = "map path"
        * example: loDrives.item(1)= '\\192.168.0.25\c\'
        * we are only concerned about drive S, our server map
    loDrives=oNet.enumnetworkdrives()
    IF loDrives.count>0
        FOR nnum=0 TO loDrives.count-1
            IF lodrives.item(nnum)='S:'
                    * force removal in case the map exists
                    * otherwise WScript throws a hissy fit
                oNet.RemoveNetworkDrive("S:",.t.,.t.)
                exit
            ENDIF
        endf
    ENDIF
    RELEASE ALL LIKE loDrives
        * pause a second
        *    =sleep(1000)
        * reconnect. The third param is for "persist? y or n"
* the "appl.serverpath" is an application-wide drive map spec for the server. * it varies from building to building, subnet to subnet. So each machine has the path
        * defined for it in the local INI file and is extracted at startup.
      oNet.MapNetworkDrive("S:", appl.serverpath,.t.)
      RELEASE ALL LIKE oNet
      On Error &lcError
      retry
ENDIF

Maybe this will provide some spark of creativity.

Thanks, I'll check it out. That article implies a problem with the wifi stack in
Windows 7 though, but this is wired.

Believe me, I've spent hours googling this over the past few months.
