Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / September 2007Losing Mapped Drives
Hi there I'm looking for assistance. We have two workstations that constantly lose their mapped drives, or rather all of the information inside of the drives. Trying to access the shared resources using a UNC path also fails. The only solution is logging out and then back in. I have checked and both machines have valid TCP/IP Addresses (One is a reservation and the second is DHCP assigned), and both can ping the servers and all other workstations when this occurs. Both have valid DNS servers that work (Pinging the hostname also resolves the TCP/IP Address). Both also have WINXP Pro SP2, and are two totally different builds Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated What's the error message when you re-map them?

It is available from all other workstations and the same one when logged out and back in!
