Drive share kicking users off
My network is setup in 2 aspects the internal which contains 10 network addresses and the external which has our IP's. We have a server which is locked off access at firewall for only one website but has 2 external ip's to it. The server serves as a test and development server and sits on the external network. I have users internally on the 10 network who map the drive on their macs and after a random period of time sometimes two minutes sometimes a day the drives disconnect them. I tried microsofts drive timeout extension

i also tried installing more CAL's on the server.
still disconnects randomly. I tried disabling any AV software and it still does it i also alowed full connectivity in firewalls from internal to the server and from the server to internal.
still does it. I can not seem to figure this out
I was thinking of installing another NIC in there and putting it on the internal network thinking maybe since there is only 1 IP being seen on the server connecting like 30 times that the internal nic will see the different systems.
Is this a possibility? does anyone have any suggestions?

just says session log out
ASKER
nothing in the event logs about it at all the be honest
just one client that does this yes?
ASKER
no all of them. about 25 clients
is this happening with multiple simultaneous connections
ie if you have one user connected and just one..... how long till you get booted off

Using windows Server 2003 standard 5 cal. I added 10 extra cal's But even with only 10 users connecting it still does the disconnection
ASKER
Problem fixed by added a internal network connection. This allowed the server to see everyone as their own seperate connections rather then 25 connections from 1 ip
what do the event viewers have to say about it?
Cheers!
