We have a network drive for shared files set up on a Windows 7 desktop in our offices. I'm on a Windows XP (SP3) desktop and connect to it. We have a ubee DDW365 modem and Belkin router. We have wireless turned off and connect through cables plugged into the back of the router.
Every week or so, I get a message the the shared drive is disconnected. We have to restart the Windows 7 desktop and then the connection returns. This sometimes occurs when no one is in the office, and sometimes when I'm in the middle of working on a file. Seems quite random in timing. Oh, and my internet connection does not get lost, just the connection to the shared drive.
I'm looking for ideas on why this is happening and how we can stop it. I'm not terribly techie, so detailed help is much appreciated. Thanks!
