Re: Vista drive mapping to 2008 Server

Try some of the procedures here on the server

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951037

and similar on the Vista clients.

http://silverstr.ufies.org/blog/archives/001035.html

It sounds like something in the network infrastructure may not be working with some of these features. I would try disabling chimney offload first. Try each setting both on the server alone, a client alone, then both. This may help pin down where the problem lies. If it's the chimney offload setting that's often a driver that doesn't fully support it. The Broadcom NICs listed in the ipconfig you posted are known to have this problem.

Did that with the NET USE * /DELETE command.
Mapping via NET USE I get System error 53 has occurred
Mapping via My Computer (specifying path name) i get Windows cannot access
\\Server_Name Error code 0x80070035 The network path was not found
Mapping via My Computer and the browse facility returns all servers and
computers on the network and all shares except the 2008 server (returns error
code 0x80070035)
XP workstations have no issues, DNS is working correctly, No Wins server on
network all other network objects functioning correctly (print queues etc)
No entries in event logs on workstation or server when attempting to connect

Can you please post the details of the errors. This means the source, the
text, etc.

Did you try this specific command?

NET USE * /DELETE

Do this immediately after booting up the computer, before mapping any
drives. After doing this map a drive by any method then see if it loses the
connection.
