hi,

I have a linux server setup as my file server with windows 98 and xp PCs connecting to the server. I currently map the 6 network drive from the server on my PCs. I run this network batch file to map the drives:

echo off
cls
net use S: \\SERVER\SHARED password /USER:server\username/PERSISTENT:NO
net use L: \\SERVER\PICTURES /PERSISTENT:NO
net use N: \\SERVER\DIARY /PERSISTENT:NO
net use M: \\SERVER\username /PERSISTENT:NO
net use K: \\SERVER\VIDEOS /PERSISTENT:NO
net use P: \\SERVER\BACKUP /PERSISTENT:NO

This script has always work until today. All the other drives map, except Drive K will not map as it requests a username and password. I have entered all the usernames and passwords of users on the server they all come up with "wrong username or password" or "An extended error has occurred". I have even created new users and I can not map the K Drive with their username and password either.

PLS Help. This is driving me crazy!

PS. I have tried to map the drive manually and on different drive letters and I have the same problem.

This may sound bizarre to some but i have had this problem before and i found a short term cure was to pull the power cable out of the server wait 10 seconds and plug in an switch on.

HTH
