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

Thanks Gonzalo.  I will give that a try and see what happens.

Gonzalo,

I think that is helping, but I need to do more testing.  However, I have discovered something more.  If a user disconnects from the wired connection and their laptop goes to the WiFi connection, and the drives disconnect, they can take the following steps to get them back.

1. Open Windows Explorer and select This PC.

2. Instead of selecting the drives in the list immediately below This PC, double-click a drive in the main pane under Network locations.,

Doing this makes everything work again.  I don't know why this works, but so far my minimal testing shows that it does.  Any thoughts on what we can do to make this work on its own without people having to open Windows Explorer?
