Here's another thing...there is a policy which tells computer to wait for network before logging on. It's under Computer Administrative Templates->Network->System->Always wait for network at computer startup and logon. Try setting it to enable. Hope it helps

Hi Guys. I have this problem with windows 7 professional where network mapped drives show a Red X on drives but when double clicked they open. The other issue is that i have Mapped a printer port "LPT4" that works ok with a DOS based programe, but when the computer is restarted the drive is always disconnected and i have to connect it mannualy and all is well.. Any assistance of this will be highly appreciated. Mathew Muthama MCP, MSCA
