It is true that XP Home can not authenticate to a domain, but an upgrade to XP Pro will not automatically solve the disconnected drive problem.
My main work station is XP Pro and authenticates to a Win2K AD PDC, and I will still loose touch with the my mapped drive (which is mapped to the shared AD resource). Clicking on the share will re-connect it again, but that doesn't fix your problem Our company has looked for a fix for this for a while, and have yet to find anything that works.
