At the end of the day, my workstations are connected to my SBS 2003 server 
and the shared server drives are visible.  But the next morning, the 
workstations have been disconnected. (When viewed in Windows Explorer on the 
workstation, they show as Dissconnected.)  When I reboot the workstation, the 
connection is restored.

All computers are left running overnight.  What is causing the workstations 
to disconnect overnight?

What are you using for backups?
if you click connect are they reconnecting?
do the PC's go into sleep mode?

Hello,

Thanks for your post and Russ' points.

Yes, same question as Russ that " if you click connect are they reconnecting?" Furthermore, can these clients resolve or Ping SBS server's IP and server name when they 
appear as "disconnected" ? Any network connection related event logs recorded on the SBS server or workstations?
