I have a number of XP Pro systems connecting over a WAN to an NT Server box via Windows networking. The mapped drives on these XP systems go to an "Unavailable" status at random intervals during the day.

The NT Server is running Interdrive NFS Server and has the same directory exported under NFS as under Windows networking, this is required as I have OS/2 systems connecting to the system as well as NT 4.0 and XP.

Can anyone tell me what may be causing the Unavailable status on my XP boxes? Has anyone ever seen anything similiar to this before, and if so, did you have a solution for it? Any help at all would be appreciated! :)

Yes, htis type of problem occurs as XP is different than earlier OSes. Changes in protocol stacks. I suggest Microsoft Knowledge base for work arounds and even the TechNet at Microsoft.
