Win2k network drives, randomly "disconnect"

Hello. I have a two-computer network in my house. They are networked via a switch, which is then connected to a router and then to a cable modem. Internet sharing works great.

However, I have some network drives mapped from one computer to the other, and vice-versa. Sometimes, I will be copying files from a network drive to the native computer, and all of a sudden, a warning says the network drive is no longer available. Both computers are on and hibernation is not enabled on either of them.

Thanks for the help.

Increase the autodisconnect time. I have experienced the same problem, this "fix" has helped so far.
Let me know if you hear of other solutions.
