Yes it is logging into a domain environment. And from time to time users are
unable to see their mapped drives (using net use to map) and I have to do
either of the following:
use net use to map again; or rejoin the domain using the same computer.

However when I look at the ipconfig /all the settings are all ok. DNS server
is pointing to the one we have, and using ping command I can ping the DNS
server. Is there any way to trouble-shoot this problem?
Thx again
