Offline files

[Back4More]

I have a Dell laptop running Windows XP Professional SP-1. It is connected to a Windows 2000 server. I store my data files on the server and backup to the laptop with offline files. The problem I have is my laptop frequently shows a warning “OFFLINE FILES – Working Offline. You are no longer connected to the server”, and it goes offline. The network connection is still enabled and working. It occurs more often when there is a data transfer to or from the server but also sometimes occurs when the laptop is idle. Any ideas?

No replies yet from any network wizards so I can only suggest trying changing the synchronisation settings or see if goes back on line if you change any of the data files. I don't remember there being any time-out settings, but it seems strange that it would do this if you can still access the server.

If both sets are synchronised then I suppose it doesnt really matter until a change is made.
