Re: Jer's jumpin off place
I honestly couldn't tell you what's going on with the mapped network drive problem. One of the things that you could try would be browsing to the share directly. You can do that if you have the server name, just hit Start --> Run (assuming you're using WinXP) and then type \\servername then you can view all of the shares on that server. Once you're there, you might also try to remap the drive. You can kill the existing mapping by going to My Computer, right-clicking the share, and then selecting Disconnect. Then go back to the window that has the server shares, right click on the one that you want, and then choose Map Network Drive, and map it to whatever drive letter you like (or if it's required to be a specific one, that drive letter). It sounds like your IT staff is full of idiots to be honest, file share issues are pretty basic SOFTWARE problems. The fact that you can view other shares, and nobody else has the problem tells me that it isn't a hardware problem. Windows Servers are my area of expertise, and that sounds like the issue here... or if they're running a Linux file server, it would be a Samba problem.
A few additional questions:
Are the network shares that work hosted on the same server as the one that doesn't work?
Does your company use a domain or a workgroup? It'll show the domain name on your computer if you're logging onto a domain. If you're not, then the problem is more than likely related to a weird security issue on that specific server.
Are the computers that are able to map the drive running the same version of Windows as you are?
The only hardware related problem I can really come up with would be a shaky network connection on your computer that is causing authentication problems with that one server. But that's a total and completely long-shot. You could try changing network cables if you're physically connected to the network. But again, it sounds like your IT staff are a bunch of idiots. :24:
Ill take my name on your umm................................... toe if thats how youre gonna verify, but we can discuss that more at a later time
