I have the same problem when login from winxp to win2k server. My work around
is to use a script to map that drive instead of specify the path in the
profile tab. If anyone knows a fix for this please let us know. TIA

If the drive does not map after a cold boot, if you log off the user and log back in, the drive maps. The drive is designed to map under her profile tab on the Windows NT server. This does not happen on other computers/users, nor does it happen on other PCs she logs on to. All the setting are the same on her computer as are on the other client PCs. Any ideas?
