RE: Problems with Drive Mapped to AS/400 "dropping"

Take a look at how much network traffic you have. If your network is always
busy, you may need to look at improving network performance. This would be
my first guess.

Hi Folks,

We are on V4R1 and are using a product that maps a drive (I: - not that
it matters I guess) to our AS/400 and to a folder on the AS/400.

It maps fine, for awhile. Then is "drops". It still shows under Explorer
on the PC but trying to access it says it is gone... The vendor says it
is "timing out"

The workstation is running Windows NT 4.0 and it is connected to the
system via TCP/IP/Ethernet at 10mb.
We have tried swapping out the cable and which hub it is attaching into,
etc. with NO luck.

As for how long it can stay connected, so far today: 42 minutes, 45
minutes, 1 hr 12 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.
No rhyme or reason to this but getting VERY frustrating...

Thanks for any ideas, help, etc. !

Chuck
