Default Network Drive Disconnection

My Protools rig has a few network drives available so I can transfer files from other PCs. But if one of the PCs shutdown while protools is running it locks for about 2min with a spinning beach ball. The mac still responds but ProTools can't handle it.
Anyone have a fix for this.
Happened in PT10 and 11 across Snow Leopard, Mt Lion and Mavericks

Yeah. It is probably not a good idea to have drive appear and disappear while Protools is running. Protools is very fussy that way. It might be a good idea to disconnect all networked drives before running Protools. You can always copy files after quitting Protools and reconnecting to the network drives.

It usually raises is head when I'm running a source connect session. I like to disable the network adapter on my pc so it doesn't start some random update and steal bandwidth.
Getting the mac to see the network drives again can be a real PITA.
The funny thing is, I've never used the drive to feed protools, so i thought it should be able to ignore anything that isn't a recording drive.

Just wanted to say been having the same issue. ProTools needs smarter code over this - basically, if a networked drive disconnects it shouldn't crash protools. Major software flaw. Super annoying.
