Hi All,
I have a windows based workgroup network running about
30 computers. I just added four new windows xp pro
systems to the network. Each machine has 19 networked
drives to a windows 2000 data server. On the new systems,
all the drives show up as "disconnected network Drive"
upon a boot of the computer. I can still click the drive
and access data, and then it is no longer a disconnected
network drive. However, I have network programs that use
the drives, and they cannot access the drive while it
is "disconnected". I have to click on the drive in
explorer, and then the program can access the drive. This
obviosly doesn't work well for me. How do I make the
drives show up as connected upon boot of the computer?
I have tried the registry setting on the server that
disables timeouts, that doesn't work. Any idea's? Thanks.
