Hi - Strange issues with 2 PCs running Vista Business SP1 and a 2008 Standard
Server in a 2003 Domain. XP Pro users have no issues. On one PC I am able to
map a drive which then is available for several minutes. Then randomly it
will display the red cross and if accessed says "local device name in use".
It then may or may not allow access on second attempt or display "network
path not found". When drive is disconnected it will still appear in My
Computer and I have to reboot to clear it.
The other PC when mapping a drive using \\servername\share will display
"network path does not exist", second attempt to map drive will say "Windows
cannot access server\sharename" quoting error 0x80070035. When I close and
re-open My Computer and map drive it is successful. However drive is only
available for several minutes and will then disconnect.

It sounds like a name resolution problem. Are the clients using an active directory DNS server and no other DNS servers? Please post the results of ipconfig /all from one of the clients that doesn't work and from a domain controller that is also a DNS server.
