XP Pro SP3, Thinkpad T60, set up for using Offline Files

Multiple users in my small office have this same problem:
When working in the office, network connection [not wireless] to file server
is lost, and computer is kicked to Offline Files. Internet connection (and
connection to Exchange server which is hosted offsite) is not lost. User must
sync Offline Files to access file server directly (or print, since file
server is also print server). All computers don't get kicked to Offline Files
at the same time. I'm not sure when problem started, but doesn't seem
specific to this computer model; may have started after an update?

I'm thinking that the problem may be be specific to Offline Files and not to
any network issue?

Anyone else have this problem?

When you lost the connection. can you ping the server? Also any errors in
the event viewer?

What kind of computer is your "file server"?
Windows XP Pro allow a maximim of 10 simultaneous connections
Windows XP Home allows a maximim of 5 simultaneous connections.
