Mapped Drives Disconnecting w/ Red X
I have a new ReadyNAS being accessed by Windows 7 clients using mapped drives (set up via net use commands).
The drives initially map just fine, but after a random period of inactivity appear to disconnect and show a red x on the drive when viewed in the drive list in Windows Explorer. The drives reconnect immediately upon being clicked within Windows Explorer and the red X then disappears, only to reappear after another random period.
Drive spindown is not enabled on the ReadyNAS, nor are the Power Timer settings.
My same Windows clients are able to map drives to a Windows 2008 server and a couple of Snap Servers w/o any such issues, so I think the cause likely is a Samba setting on the ReadyNAS.
Any ideas how to prevent the intermittent disconnects?
Additional Info:
ReadyNAS Pro 2 [X-RAID2]
RAIDiator 4.2.19
Also running Egnyte Office Local Cloud 6.6 (37354)
Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64 Clients
Thanks

- Resolved. I saw references elsewhere to the add-on NoSMBDisconnect. Applied the add-on, issue resolved.
See http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/NoSMBDisconnect_0.2-x86.bin for the add-on. - Curious, how is that fix working? I get the same in a mixed Win7-32bit, XP SP3 and NT4.0 environment but have held off on any add-ons as of yet.
- I just caught this was for the x86 and not the Sparc. Is NoSMBDisconnect_0.2.bin the current version to use with the Duo?
- On the client side:
Drop to a command prompt, and:
net config server /autodisconnect:-1
