Every morning my XP workstations (Server 2003 network)
are disconnected from my network drive. I reboot every
workstation each morning, and some still do not reconnect
to the mapped network drives. Is there any settings or
something that would stop my workstations from
disconnecting from my network. Some workstations run
sluggishly after rebooting, so another reboot is needed.
Even if I shut my workstations down at night, when I
start them up in the morning I have the
same "disconnected network drive" problems.
 
Joe's suggestion worked for me. (Great guess Joe!!!!) When I clicked on "Manage my network passowrds" there were already two entries there from two other users that had used this workstation. I first 'disconnected' the mapped drives through 'My Computer'. Then came back to the 'user account' settings and deleted both entries LEAVING this blank. Re-booted, then re-mapped drives through 'My Computer' checking 'reconnect at logon' and everything has been fine since!

This is just a guess... Try going to user accounts on the control panel
Select your account. When the " What do you want to change about you
account?" window opens, select "manage my network passwords" under Relate
Tasks. in the blue pane to the left. Enter your user name and password fo
the computer with the drive you are connecting to

Hope it helps..
