Mapped Drive Dropping Over Cisco WAN [7:10429]
Does anyone know if there are any possible reasons why mapped drives across a T-1 cisco routed WAN link would drop after appx. 3 minutes? I've tried every registry tweak that I could find in the MSKB and nothing has kept the link up for more than a few minutes. It's not just in the application but also when you go in My Computer and double-click the drive itself. A message pops up that says it is an unreliable connection. I also tried a cmd on the server net configure server /autodisconnect:-1 which by MS definition will prevent the server from idle-disconnect of shared resources or RAS connections. As this happens on the 95 and W2K machines I think it's not related to the workstations, but I am not sure. So this leads me to believe that maybe there is a timeout or keepalive that needs to be set/adjusted on the router. Thanks in advance!

Maybe you have a bad WAN connection. Have your ISp check it. You can start by checking for packet loss. Frame-relay circuits tend to bounce a lot, but not enough to make you lose connection. If you're losing connection, then your line is too faulty, barring any LAN problems. Check the router log.

I'm hearing of exactly the same thing on an old job of mine where two 2611's across a T1/E1 link are doing the same. Driving us nuts as same fault finding has not worked any brains out there!

Michael, I'm no specialist, but aren't mapped drives tied in with NetBEUI? Is your WAN link set up to carry this traffic? Just a thought...
