Grey X on Network Shares
I setup a shared drive on a Win7 system across a VPN. I mapped the share on the other end of the VPN. Initially the share works fine, but in time (15-x minutes) there are Grey Xes on the folders and when i try to access them i get "I:folderName is not accessible. This file is currently not available for use on this computer".
This is a WorkGroup.
I'd like the Shares to be constantly available.
It seems like it times out after so long. I didn't have this problem with XP, this issue is something about win7.

Already tried that. I've actually done quite a bit of troubleshooting and research on this issue.
i've had this problem before and those instructions fixed me. i'm at a loss.
have you tried removing the map and then re-mapping?
