Mapped drives always marked with Red X

You might want to post in a Window 2000 networking newsgroup also. I
remember this was a fairly common complaint and may be something that was
fixed in XP/2003. You can also change the security option in Local Security
Policy for amount of idle time before suspending session and setting it to
zero to see if that helps. --- Steve
