    I have a customer that has thier drives being disconnected when they
    are not used for a certain amount of time. However if they click on the
    drive letter, the connection will come back. They claim that this is 
    causing problems with some of the client/server apps they have.
    
    This is a mixture of WIN95, WINDOWS NTW and WFW3.11/PATHWORKS clients. 
    
    I believe that I have traced the problem down to being a TCPKEEPALIVE 
    value in protocol.ini, my problem is that I need to know where to place 
    this parameter in the PROTOCOL.INI file. I assume that it is in a TCP/IP 
    section but the WINDOWS95 clients and WINDOWS NT clients do not have this 
    section. Maybe it should be in the registery somewhere?
    
    I have search Microsoft Knowledge Base but can't find any specifics on
    how to implement this.
    
    Does anyone have anymore information on this? 
    
    Thanks,
