i have server 2008 not R2 installed 32bit processor. i have windows 7 and xp on other hosts not on a domain nor is the server a domain server. the issue is when i connect from a windows 7 or xp pc to a shared drive on the server the connection gets disconnected either the open shared drive folder drops the connection and also my remote app that i connect to server 2008 with drops as well. not sure what the issue would be.

Try to map via command line using net use SHARED PATH /p:yes

it must be somehting to do with the network nic card or something else because when i go to the server via \\servername my dameware app disconnects. this is a reg issue maybe need help

from dameware

 

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

sorry how do i issue that shared path command

 

i get to the server via unc path \\servername and i have two shared drives.

i also get this after the connection disconnects from the remote app. for example right now i am uncompressing an iso file from the E drive and putting in on my local drive windows 7 and the shared folder is still open. i do a ping this is what i get.

Mhhhh there's a problem with you NIC (server's side), I can't understand why you have a ping of 2-4 ms... is too much in a LAN.
