Network Drives in Win2K

OK, but have you tried installing yer own version of 2k? It's possible that one of the 18 million programs pre-loaded by Dell is causing yer problem. Just cause Dell loaded it for you doesn't mean that it's right.......

I would start an "Audit" on this machine..

but try this:

go to "administrative Tools -> Services"

stop and disable the "Distributed Link Tracking Client" and the "Distributed Transaction Coordinator"

Hope it helps..

Hi All,

I also have rteloaded W2K from Scratch and still get the disconnected drives....

Have disabled both distribution services, to no avail... still getting the same problem...

I am now going to try a re-installation of the OS.

do your users have home folders set up for their profiles maybe?

OK... I have just spent two days re-installing ALL the software on this machine, including a brand new install of Win2k. The problem is back but the drives are NOT being marked as "unavailable".

The only thing that is new or different on this machine (the only one having this problem) is Office XP?

HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!

Is it only 1 user who is logging on to that machine?

So You have another box just like this one "out of the box" from dell without
Office XP on it?? Have you running this box without xp for a while? That could be the clue you need.
