This document applies to Xircom® CardBus Ethernet 10/100 Adapters (CBE, CBE2, RBE and R2BE).
This problem can be experienced as:
- Network adapter automatically disconnects from the network after
being idle for a period of time.
- Machine is slow to browse or reconnect after idle for extended
period.
- Mapped drives have a red X on them.
To resolve this problem:
Open the Registry Editor:
1. Click Start.
2. Point to Run.
3. Type in REGEDT32 and click OK.
Note: The Registry Editor can be accessed
in two ways; one by typing REGEDIT in the Run box; the other
by typing REGEDT32 in the Run box. Use the REGEDT32 command
since we are only interested in the entries located on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
on Local Machine page of the Registry. Using the REGEDIT command brings
up all five pages of the Registry into one display making it more
time consuming to identify and delete the necessary keys.
Locate the following registry key:
Hkey_Local_Machine\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanserver\parameters\autodisconnect
1. Double-click on autodisconnect, which is on the
right-hand side.
2. The Edit DWORD Value opens. Under Base, select
Hexadecimal.
3. In the Value Data box, (default value of "f"), enter seven
more "f"s, for a total of eight "f"s. "ffffffff".
4. Exit the Registry Editor and restart the computer.
According to Microsoft, the time out now will be approximately 8,171 years.
