i have server 2008 not R2 installed 32bit processor. i have windows 7 and xp on other hosts not on a domain nor is the server a domain server. the issue is when i connect from a windows 7 or xp pc to a shared drive on the server the connection gets disconnected either the open shared drive folder drops the connection and also my remote app that i connect to server 2008 with drops as well. not sure what the issue would be.
