I have a user who cannot stay connected to a mapped drive.
I keep getting an error that says, "Local Device Name Is Already In Use", when I attempt to view the drive.
I usually can see the drives contents when I do this mapping on other users' computers, IE;...I go to My Network Places >>> Map Network Drive >>>
I put in the drive letter that I want to use, and then I browse to the folder in that drive that I want to map. On this PC, I can't see the folders in the drive...in other words, I can see the Network drive, "Img01", but cannot see the contents of that drive...(hope I'm making sense)

So then I go about it the hard way and find the contents by going:
Start >>> Run >>> \\img01
Then I can see the contents, I right click on the folder I want to map, and presto!
It's mapped. But when the user shuts down or reboots, It's lost it's mapping and has to be re-mapped...

I'm at a loss. Anyone? I'm about to go crazy over this...

The drive you are mapping to, are the premissions set to share? On the remote computer right click on the drive you wish to share and select sharing. I would recommend sharing a folder verse sharing a whole drive but thats up to you. Also you should password protect the drive in case the LAN is breeched by a virus.

Sharing is already enabled...
And I am only attempting to map a folder on the drive, not the entire drive. And everything on our network is password protected.

Understood.

Guess I'm just frustrated as to why this is happening...I've Googled it and seen many "possible" solutions, but none of them are seeming to work...
