Net Use Command Problems with Random Disconnect

[colbymccaslin]

I have a network with 5 machines running Windows XP Pro. All the machines map about 5 drives on the server using the "net use" command. Two of the machines have local printers attached to them. If I wanted to machine #1 to map machine #2 printer I use the "net use" command to does this and it works great as well but my problem that I am having is after about 10-15 minutes the printer just randomly becomes disconnected and then won't print. So then you have to delete the command and then reinstall the command back in.

Thanks,

Colby
