Win 2000 ProSP4 connect NT 4 server question

[Cat bite]

Dear,

I am using Windows 2000 Pro SP4 to connect a NT Server 4.0 (Not join
domain) and use Excel 97 SR2 to open a file in G:\DN\D01234.XLS and save as
D05678.XLS with the following error:

An error Occurred while reconnecting G: to \\ntserver\share
Microsoft Windows Network : The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored.

The file can be saved after I click OK. Why?

Thanks!

-david
