When you say &quot;disconnected&quot; do you just see a red x on the mapping in my computer? Can you still get into it by double clicking? It is a known issue in 2000 machines that they disconnect after a period of inactivity, but reconnect when accessed. See if this article helps: <br />

I am using windows 2000 pc. I am mapping drives from windows 98 and windows 2000 machines. After mapping and using the machine for an hour or so the mapping drive gets dis-connected. I am facing the same problem in one of my other windows 2000 pc. Is there any setting to be checked or any back door virus or worm is doing the damage. kindly advice

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
