Windows Server - XP pro client losing mapped drives to server

Hi,
Win xp pro machine fully updated, domain server 2k3 R2 spk2 no further
updates. Nic drivers
updated on the win xp pro machine and server ...symantec ep 11.0.5 on
the win xp client no
antivirus on the server. That's the background ... I am out of
options ...the client keeps losing
the mapped drive connections to the server ...I can reboot and they
will stay connected a little while
but then they disconnect and you cannot reconnect without a
reboot ..and now sometimes the reboot does not work. During the
disconnect time ...network access  is available since internet access
works. No sure what to do ...Any ideas?

Thanks

Any errors in the event viewer? can you ping the server by name after
disconnecting from the mapping?

Why is this (Formatting a Drive) ??? Windows Server I have a Western Digital USB powered external drive. Its a 320 gig. It came formatted as Fat32 from the factory and just contains one partition. Works fine on Windows 2000. I have gotten Win98se to recognize it too, but I lost the driver I was using. That drive said it was intended for Win2000, XP, and Vista (before Win7 existed). It may have even been made for Win98 (I forgot USB drive. Same size, basically the same thing. That one said it was only for XP and newer. Well, it came preinstalled with some backup software, which automatically loaded, and gave me an error message everytime, because it was XP software.

It was only that included (unwanted) software that needed XP or newer. What's the problem here? Thanks JW Windows 2000 Discussions Windows XP (1) Windows Server (1) Windows 7 (1) Linux (1) Vista (1
