I am trying to map a network drive from a fresh XP install to a server running NT server. I am able to map the drive but when I reboot it doesn't maintain the connection. The box is click to reconnect on startup. I can not understand why the drive will not stay connected at reboot? Any help would be appreciated! I need to make this happen.

For a temporary workaround, you could connect it through DOS:

net use X: \\servername\directory

where X: is the drive you want to be mapped

just make a .bat file and stick it in the startup directory. I've had to do this in the past, it's not the most glamorous but it gets the job done.

Thanks for the fast reply! It was a dumb mistake... I set up an account on the server and on the client but tried logging into the server as the client. Anyhow... situation resolved. Thanks again.
