Hello, I have read similar post to this question but none that addresses it
specifically.

I have a customer with an XPPro SP2 laptop, Domain user, connected locally
to a SBS03 DC.  Due to his travel he requires offline files and
synchornization.

The problem is that when connected to the LAN with CAT5 he regularily, and
randomly, goes offline.  I have set this laptop user’s advanced offline
settings to: "Never allow my computer to go offline" and the problem persists.

He still has the pop up inidcating he is "working offline" on his status bar
..  This was a problem at another client of mine on their desktop machines
when we rolled out a fresh 2003 network.  Being that they were desktop PC we
disabled the “Enable offline files” at the GPO level and were done with it. 

I can’t do that with this laptop.  Of coursewhen he “goes offline”, despite
being online CAT5, he only gains network access to that which he had chosen
to make offline.  I have checked the physical network.

What cause this issue? 

Although it appears at a random period, is there a time out that I can
adjust before this happens?

Grrr!!! Is there a registry hack?


TIA

Sounds plausible, though I'd knock my head against the wall if it's that easy
