If I'm understanding your situation, it sounds as though you've proved that
name resolution is your problem. All systems member of same workgroup? Are
the IP addresses of all of these systems fixed, provided by DHCP from some
source like a router or a server (if server, the one with the shares?), or a
mix? You are connecting to the server via RDP as an admin or as a TS user?
You have what kinds of accounts on the server / local workstation?
Worst-case scenario, as in you you have no admin rights to fix general
issues / make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is working everywhere, you could
just creat your mapped drives using the IP address instead of the server
name. If that's not satisfactory, maybe you could post back with an outline
with more information about the general network environment infrastructure
and your working relationship to it. That might provide enough information
for someone here to give more concrete suggestions.

Vista SP1.
I have an issue with Vista dropping shared drive connections, often
while working on files on those drives. Today I was working in Word on
a file on a shared drive... the connection just dropped. Word hung,
checking in Explorer (clicking on drive letter) gave me a "drive not
available" message on several drives mapped to that machine.
The drives are shared off a win2003 server and I use simple
username/password authentication to access the drives, no domains, no
A/D.
It's not a physical or general networking issue. I can still browse
the Internet. In fact, the last time it happened I was logged into the
server with an RDC connection and it continued to act normally.
I found that I could not see the server by browsing the network.
Browsing from the win2003 server side I could still see the client on
the network.
Ideas?
