On a computer that runs Windows 7, if you map a drive to a network share, the mapped drive may be disconnected after a regular interval of inactivity, and Windows Explorer display a red "X" on the icon of the mapped drive. However, if you try to access or browse the mapped drive, it reconnects quickly. This behavior occurs almost every day. My Server is SBS 2008. What could the fix be?
