Not connecting to network share drives.

by hotbelw . Updated 22 years ago

About nine months ago, we migrated from Novell 4x platform to Windows NT. The servers are W2k and the workstations are XP Pro. Script Logic handles the drive mapping. Everything worked fine until about three months ago, when users began reporting that they don’t get their share drives after login. They do however get mapped to their home drive, but this is handled through AD. The problem is intermittent and therefore hard to pinpoint. The only thing that will resolve this is restarting the PC and sometimes it takes up to ? dozen attempts. Once connected to the share drives, there is no problem until the next login. We have three physical sites all connected to the domain. The other sites are not experiencing this problem. I have 6 each 10MB hubs and 1each 100MB switch daisy chained. (I know, this is not good, but I inherited this network) I took one of the users that was experiencing the problem the most and moved their connection to the switch, but did not resolve. I?ve done a lot of research, but no leads yet. This problem is annoying and I would appreciate your ideas.
