drive mappings fail

[aaron]

Hi,

On a number of identical computers windows xp sp 1 drive mappings to a
specific windows 2000 file server intermittently fail. The login script
runs when the users login and it maps to all other file servers except one.
If the users log out and log back in the login script runs again and the
drive is mapped without a problem. The file server has been up and running
for weeks. This file server is also running windows terminal server.

Thanks,
Aaron

Any error messages, or clues in the server or client event logs?

The error I get is

system error 53 has occurred
the network path was not found

Now i can ping the server without a problem but when I type
\\servername\sharename I cannot connect to it. If I type

\\ipaddress\sharename I can connect.

Any error messages, or clues in the server or client event logs?

Looks like a name resolution problem. Do you have a DNS server on your
network?
