Local Device name already in use - XP Pro

P

POL

I just moved 2 XP Pro workstations from one location to
another. They both login to the same domain that they used
to but when I try to access the server I get the following
message

"An error occured while reconnecting toF:\\ELMO\SYS
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is
already in use.
This connection has not been restored."

I can see the server, I just can't figure out why I can't
use it.

HELP PLEASE

It means something else is using F:. Check it out with explorer. If it is
a network drive, disconnect it then reconnect it.
