I have windows 7 Ult. I have been going thru the forums and trying several ways to disconnect the drive mappings that show with a red X and say Disconnected Network Drive but I can access the connection and open files, edit files, delete files, and save files as one would normally expect but I have no way of disconnecting the drive mapping. I have the same path remapped to a different drive letter without any problems. I have tried the command prompt net use X: /Delete and get the error message "The Network connection could not be found. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250." and I have tried the suggestions in Article 297684 even downloading the msi and doing it manually. I have even tried Zorn's little program and that didn't help. Is there a solution to this Microsoft glitch? David Kirk

This may do it. Look for a registry entry for the mapping under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2] Note a mapping to \\Eblaptop\F (for example) will show a registry subkey named as ##Eblaptop#F If found, delete that key and then log off and back on or reboot and it should be gone. (As always be careful when editing the registry.) Please advise how this works out for you. I have done this successfully (in XP and Vista) though in those cases the 'stuck' mapping was not actually connecting. -- "IT-TAZ" wrote in message news:1f22d98f-e150-4a54-9967-1641fa86dbc5@communitybridge.codeplex.com...

GTS-NJ THANK YOU! That worked. I also had to remove the same entry under the [HKEY_USER\. Default\Software\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Mountpoint2\] It had the same ##servername#folder that you mentioned. THANK YOU again! this has been driving me batty for about a month now. David Kirk

I performed all this and it worked but still could not ping the system. Turned out the firewall was turned on for the DNS newtork. Turned off firewall and works fine.
