Why won’t my xp connect to network upon startup?

by cakester . Updated 14 years, 3 months ago

I just added a new server to my network at work. I connected all the computers to it and all have access to it. However, I have one computer (XP sp3) that will not remain connected after a restart. I can map to the drives but need to “connect as a different user” then all is OK until next time I turn it off. I tried resetting the time on both the server and the desktop, went to user accounts and under the advanced tab-manage passwords and reset the password, changed from dynamic to static IP address but nothing solved the issue. This computer does not have this problem connecting to the old server. Upon startup, I get a dos window that says error 53 and error 85 this DOS window does not appear on anyother machine. My server is set for maximun users. Can anyone suggest another course of action or possible cause?
