Not sure why they disconnect, but I see it as well. Just a suggestion to relieve user frustration - you can set their VPN dialer to re-dial when disconnected and set the interval it waits. If you set it with a short enough interval, the users may be able to live with it until you figure out why you get the re-sets. At least sometimes, the re-dial can be fast enough to avoid XP discovering that mapped drives are missing.
