Hi

Hopefully someone can assist me with this issue. We have approx 75 users and
just recently when some of them try to access a mapped network drive, they
get the error 'the local device name is already in use'. The only way i seem
to be able to rectify the problem is to disable then re-enable their network
card. I have tried disconnecting then re-connecting the drive but i get the
same error. This error does not occur on any other drives

Cheers

Simon

check your DNS server and delete multiple entries and same wiht DHCP server
also if u have one.
