could you maybe create a launchagent to "watchpath" /Volumes/sharename and if it disconnects (or "get modified"), it runs a mount script? i mean...aside from checking on why they're disconnecting in the first place.

i'm not trying to apply anything specific, repeatedly...just want to make sure policy is enforced at specific intervals. another concern is if there's something that needs to be changed immediately, i'd like to know that i don't have to wait for that user to logoff/login for it to apply...it's...

is your router broadcasting its SSID?

have you tried removing and re-installing the drivers?

have you tried sftp instead of ftp?
