The local device name is already in use

[AnytimeAnywhere]

I've got a W2K user that experiences this problem when he saves documents to
a particular drive. He can save the document after he clicks 'OK.' I
thought the problem was his NIC, but it tested OK. I replaced the network
cable and the problem still persists. Is there something that needs to be
configured on the PC?

The exact error message is: An error occurred while reconnecting N: to
\\server\share
Microsoft Windows Network: The
local device name is already in use
This connection has not been
restored.

Thanks,

John

If your using a script to connect these drives at login than in the script
disconnect the drive before you connect the drive for example:
This is a VB script

ws_net.RemoveNetworkDrive "I:"
ws_net.MapNetworkDrive "I:", "\\aug-filesrv2\FTP"

If your not using a script than disconnect the drive and reconnect it.

Not using a script, unless it's a default script that is used by Windows.
Also, the disconnect and reconnect did not work.
