OES Client losing mapped drives when switching between wired and wireless

Ken Etter

Windows 11 23H2 and 10 22H2.  OES Client 24.1

When sitting at their desks, users dock their laptops.  If they go to a conference room or collaboration space, they usually connect to wifi.  Wifi is typically set to connect automatically.  The docked connection and the wifi connection provide IP addresses from the same range.  Most of the time this is a seamless transition as they move back and forth between wired and wireless.  Mapped drives are always accessible and everything just works.  But I have some users that sometimes lose their mapped drives.  Drives will either come back slowly or they will need to do an OES Login to get them back after switching between wired and wireless.  Are there known issues around this?  Or are there some recommended OES Client settings that will make the transition more reliable and/or faster?


Thanks!

    Hi Ken

    Sometimes adapter goes down and windows notify the oes client driver but when it comes online again, it does not communicate to oes client driver so oes client things it is still down. Try to change this settings:

    - Set DWORD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\Client\Parameters\NetworkAdapterPowerEventHandling" to 0 in registry.

    - Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power setting is disable on the network card

    - Increase the value of the "Server Connection Retries" setting. Find the setting by navigating to:

    OES client Blue icon > Novell Client Properties > Advanced Login tab > Server Connection Retries
