I have that is running a Windows NT domain with Windows XP clients. On one computer, the home drive (path) will not connect consistently. If the drive does not map after a cold boot, if you log off the user and log back in, the drive maps. The drive is designed to map under her profile tab on the Windows NT server. This does not happen on other computers/users, nor does it happen on other PCs she logs on to. All the setting are the same on her computer as are on the other client PCs. Any ideas?

Hm. "Designed to map," means a login script is associated with her network
logon account? Check to see if File/Printer Sharing is enabled; Authenticate
As Computer When Computer Info Is Available, under Authentication, as well as
the Firewall (if SP2 is not loaded on the client) And if the problem doesn't
exist when she logs into other network computers, I would presume there might
be some networking configuration issues with the former. Check NETBEUI (if
configured on PDC) and NETBIOS on client in further diagnosis of this matter.

Hope this helps.

I am having the same EXACT issue with XP SP2. This is in a 2003 A.D. not NT.

Could this simply be a Firewall issue on SP2 with the FILE and Print Sharing?

I will try it and see.

I have the same problem when login from winxp to win2k server. My work around
is to use a script to map that drive instead of specify the path in the
profile tab. If anyone knows a fix for this please let us know. TIA
