Windows 7 and accessing Windows Server 2003 shares
I just received a new Windows 7 Professional 64-bit PC and it is attached to a Windows Server 2003 domain.I have mapped a drive letter g: to \\<windows server 2003 server>\<share>. I am able to access the files on this drive ok, but once I reboot the PC, I get a message after logging back into the network that my drive could not be reconnected. When I go into Windows Explorer, I see the g: drive and I get prompted for a username and password when I click on the drive.I don't have this problem on any of my Windows XP and Windows Vista PCs (of which they are 32-bit). Any ideas why it is doing this?Thanks,Scott

Hi, Here are some suggestions you can try: 1. Temporarily disable firewall on the machine. 2. When typing the user name and password, please click the "Remember password" options. 3. Disconnect the mapped drive and recreate a new one. Assure the "Turn off password protected sharing" option is selected in "Network and Sharing Center". If the issue persists, please capture the error message and upload it. Thanks, Novak
