I am not sure what you mean by more detail. But here is what microsoft said... When a DHCP lease is renewed, the win 98 desktop sends an encrypted password to the server. As a consequence, in our case for some reason, the server sees an expired encryption key and disconects the shares via it's autodisconnect feature.

The solution is to put the M$ 98 and ME hotfixes on the desktops. Or if the environment has many clients using 98 and ME, the autodisconnect feature can be disabled at the server by running:

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

at a command prompt. I hope this helps. [Smile]
