I am having this same problem on all of the computers we have running
Win2k Pro. All other O/S's are unaffected. Vantage still works fine
on the Win2k machines even though I have the red X. I also get the
message about an error occurring while reconnecting...
I have had some sporadic luck by changing the setting for the net
config server /autodisconnect command on our servers. For info on
this, check out:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q138/3/65.asp
It explains what this autodisconnect feature is and how to set it.
I am still having problems, though, so if anybody has an answer to
this one I'd love to hear it.
