I used to have as a file server for my clients recently and switched to windows server 2008 and I faced strange problem My win7 clients have no problem but xp client get disconnected about 2-3 time a day. I had not any problem when I had server2003, this problem starts when I changed my server from 2003 to 2008, be sure that the is no any network problem, ping in both side are under 1ms

  • When you say 'disconnected' - what is the client seeing? Mapped network drive becomes disconnected, or something else? Aug 25, 2010 at 14:12
  • Are they domain users? serverfault.com/questions/85328/… suggests it could be SEP/SAV, what AV are you running?

Please check through Windows Server 2008 does not use CIFS to connect to network shares (and sublinks there) for possible causes and solutions.


---Update1:
See also:

which basically tells that you must have WINS server (or dynamic DNS) server.

From my experience, I cannot see my own PC in "My Network Places" in WindowsExplorer without WINS
