I have an NT serer and 2000 clients.
On ONE machine as soon as I create a mapped drive it has a red X trhough it. But I am still able to access it and save files to it after I recieve the message "An errort occured when connecting to F:....THe local device name is already in use".

Any ideas ?

Run this command on both the NT server and the Win2k client:

NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1

I had this issue recently and I eventually ended up swapping the NIC with another. I did a continuous PING and was getting lots of Time-Outs and then some replies. I updated the drivers but it did the same. Removed NIC from Network properties anddowned the box. Replaced NIC and booted up let OS find different card. Did a continuous ping again and constant replies. Job Done.
