Heres my problem, I'm running Windows 2003 as a fileserver for about 150 - 200 computers most of them WinXP and Win9x well the WinXP machines work fine with accessing shares and for mapped drives, but some of the Win9x machines will not keep a mapped drive, example:
I put in my username and password (which is no password) and It attempts to a drive a message pops up and says cannot be mapped would you like to try at startup next time. I say yes, then I right click on My Computer-Map Drive-\\server\folder and get Not availible. Then I double click on My Computer and put in the location manually in the address bar \\server\folder and it goes right to the folder on the server then I go try to remap the drive and it works. Then thinking everything is ok now, I restart the computer to make sure everything took. I hit enter at the Username/Password screen, I get the same message as before Cannot be mapped. Thats not the exact message but thas what is saying.
And the username has admin rights on the folder, and the computer. full controll.
Any help would be great. Thank you very much for your time.
