Network shares kept getting disconnected on the company LAN.
This caused my VFP app to hang when it accessed those shares. I did
some searching and found
net config server /idledisconnect:<bignum>
could help. Per my testing, it appears to keep the shares open just
fine, but lettered, network drives based on such shares still
disconnect. The drive letter is still usable, but there is a delay
before data starts flowing. Is there a way to prevent lettered,
network drive disconnection, too?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

There's an AutoDisconnect setting you need to change.

From a cmd prompt:

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Windows XP does not recognise "/autodisconnect".

What is the difference between it and "/idledisconnect"?

I have no idea. You need to set this on the server you're using, so it
should be "autodisconnect".
