Hi Guys,

I am using Win 2000 with the latest SP on a SBS 4.5 Network.

Sometimes after mapping a drive the user is unable to access, edit the data
on this drive. The error message is:
An error occurred while reconnecting
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
The connection has not been restored

I have disconnected and reconnected the drive. Also tried scripting. It
didn't work.

This problem occurs only on some folders but they are all in the same
physical drive.

This is the only Win2000 OS I have and the only computer with this problem.

Please help if you can.

Regards,

Anguel
