I have a Netgear access point running WEP. I have a Acer tablet PC running XP Prof. Everything was running fine. User Syncs to network, gets e-mail from Exchange 2000 A.D. all mapped drives, user uses a login script for mapped drives (A.D. account). Now user cannot get mapped drives with this Acer Tablet PC. He gets an excellet wireless connection, internet access, can ping servers, can terminal into other computers. Can get mapped drives from other computers BUT NOT THIS WIRELESS ACER TABLET PC.

Make sure to give user local admin rights, secondly, flushdns and renew ip.

Ipconfig /flushdns and then ipconfig /registerdns.

Ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew.

Scripts have not changed and work fine from other computers. Any login/account gives me a mapping problem. I cannot map it at all. I can ping but cannot browse the network.

First of all check the IP of the wireless PC if it is the same as the lan PC's for there is chances that the AP is acting as a router and DHCP at the same time.

Then the other thing that you need to do is to check and remove ( b4 you delete the file backup the documents, favorites, and desktop) the user profiles for it might happen that the pc is using older/Cached profile. Then log on. Again the local policy overwrites the network policy.
