Hi,
I have a lot of laptops with offline files and folders enabled. Since a few week most of them suddenly goes offline while connected to the LAN. All on a different time and no sequence can be found. I don't find anything in the eventlogs that indicates that network connection is lost. It happens on IBM Thinkpad and Tecra laptops. Anyone any ideas?

Does it happen to your other laptops? Are you conencted via wired or wireless? From your post it sounds like you should take a look at the network cards on those machines and their drivers to make sure they're correctly configured and up to date. Did they work before? Have you made any changes to the network infrastructure? Are there issues on the server that contains their network data - thus causing them to think the network has dropped?
