I work at a school district here in FL and we have come across a strange issue. When someone logs into windows, sometimes our kix script will not run and the network drives will not map no matter how many times we log off and log back in. The only solution we can find is disabling the IEEE 802.1x setting on the authentication tab of the local area connection. It doesn't seem to be happening with all of our systems and seems to be sporadic. As soon as we disable this setting and log back in the drives will map. Any idea why this is happening and anyone have a solution? Our PC's are running Windows XP Pro w/SP2 and our servers are Win 2k3.
I need to have network drive on my Windows XP computer. In order for a software to work, there needs to exist a network drive, named N, existing on my PC. Since there's not a second PC to link to, what I did was to created a directory named est on the same PC , share it out, and then, map a network drive, named N, to it. When my PC has an Ethernet cable connected to a switch, Windows XP will see that N drive (existing on the same PC). The moment I disconnect that Ethernet cable from the switch, the N drive is gone. Is there a way to have a mapped network drive on XP (as mentioned above), without the need to have a network cable connecting that PC to a switch?
First i want introduced to u.I am siva from gz.I have Windows XP Proffessional Desktop PC.I mapped some drives or folders.After i mapped that drive when i double click means.It will OPENDED WITH likes this.
I connect to my network drive through a VPN. The problem comes when I restart my computer - the mapped drive is missing and I have to start all over again. This same problem exists if I use another user account too. How can this be fixed.
Im having a challenge when Im trying to maaped a workstation to a server on active directory server 2008. THE NETWORK MAPPED COULD NOT BE CREATED BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING ERROR HAD OCCURED. AN EXTENDED ERROR HAS OCCURED.
For some reason on my XP machine, it recently started opening minesweeper when I try to click on a network or mapped drive (and won't open the mapped drive). I've tried dropping and reconnecting - and it's still doing it.
My office has a number of mapped network drives for each user which, unfortunately, start at drive letter F.Each time a USB device is used on the computer it is also automatically assigned the drive letter F (presuming that C is hard disk and D and E are CD/DVD drives). This has to be manually changed from within Disk Management.Apparently this is as a result of physical drives taking precedent over the mapped network drives.Is there any workaround for this other than moving the mapped drive letters further along in the alphabet? - this is not really a feasible solution at this time.
I have setup a wireless network between two computers in my office and have installed some software that will automatically backup folders on each of the two computers.It work by backing up certain folders on computer 1 to the hard disk on computer 2 and vice versa.I also have a program installed on both computers that uses the data on computer 1.simplify the process of locating the data on my network I have created virtual drives using the Map Network Drives function in Windows. However; if I start up my computer and open these programs - they can not find the drives, I have to open My Computer first and double click on the drives before the programs will read from them. I am guessing that for some reason Windows is not connecting to these drives, even though I have set them to "reconnect at logon".
i just reinstalled iti need the network and sound driversproblem is their yellow and don tknow which drivers to getthe make of the machine is DIGITAL MILLENIUM / ASUS motherboard
After reinstalling Windows XP Home edition on my PC I have found that a driver for the Network Card could not be found (see attached file containing pics). In Device Manager the network card does not appear under network adapters but instead under other devices as an Ethernet Controller with a yellow question mark and exclaimation point. Unfortunately, Windows does not appear to have a driver and I can't connect to the internet to search for one.I tried installing DriverGuide which says the device is an "82551 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller" made by Intel.
I have installed XP on my sisters Laptop which is a Gateway Model: ML6228 because she did not like Vista on there. Now I was looking on the Gateway site for Network Drivers for this model and the only one they had was for Vista only, Network Downloads
D20053-002-002.exe - Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) Broadcom Wireless Network Driver version: 4.102.15.61 Supports: Windows Vista (32-bit) Note: This file contains the Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) network driver for the computer models and components listed below. English, Japanese, and Spanish installation instructions are included in the file.
I have a Dell D600 Latitude that was working fine, then i opened and email that i thought was from my sister and now my network adapter is not recognized and reflects the yellow!. I bought a Linksys USB ethernert adapter and get the same result. The drivers cannot load.I have no way of connecting this computer to the internet to run updated virus software or go to Dell to run diagnostics.
I had to wipe clean and install Windows XP on a computer that had a few virus' from work.This is store bought Windows XP, and it can't find the right driver for the network adapter. I have run Belarc Advisor and it doesn't even list a network adapter. Now when this had Windows Server 2002 it could hook up to the internet and browse it just fine. I tried several anti virus programs and none could get rid of the virus this machine had. Hence the wipe clean and install.
I am going to install a new OS Windows XP , Home with sp2 on my computer , at least try. Now i remember that the network adaptor is one of the things i need to d/l drivers for , well i have already run into trouble i have a Intel Pro/1000 CT network adapter and can not find the driver for it.
I am having a problem with my printer after installing network magic. Everytime I send a document from the main pc to the printer connected directly to it, I get a stop screen and a reboot. When it comes back I do the Microsoft error report and it says there is a problem with a driver.
Brief synopsis:I recently did a new Windows XP install (after a crash). Now I cannot get my printer to install. The printer is a SHARED printer (HP Deskjet F380) on another machine on the network. The printer was previous installed on this machine before the crash and reinstall of WinXP.After nearly 2 hours on the phone w/ HP support, it's been determined (by HP support) that somewhere in the XP install, a missing XP driver is keeping this install from properly allowing any printers to be installed. The printer will 'appear' to be installed, but any attempt to print brings an error saying printer drivers aren't properly installed.
I installed XP on my new Acer Aspire Revo 3600 (Managed to finally get HDMI sound working okay, etc, etc, but that's another story.It came pre-installed with a Linux distribution, which didn't even get past the boot screen, and up until recently the wireless keyboard supplied was working fine (plug and play I'm assuming).Then starting yesterday whenever I pressed any given key on the keyboard, it would come up with another character (not the one I pressed). Note that some keys are still mapped correctly, but for example the "I" key will come up as if I pressed "7", and "P" will end up with "9", etc. It's as if it thinks the right had side of my alphabetical QWERTY keys are the number pad.Note that this same issue also first happened in the Linpus Linux command prompt when I first received my Revo, but that didn't matter because I put XP on since.
We have a Windows 2003 server that contains files that need to be accessed by a collection of XP Pro clients. We initially set up mapped drives that connected these client computers to the server using a set of security credentials that matched user accounts on the server. These mapped drives "map" when the client logs into XP. Since the local login credentials on the client PCs don't match those on the server, we use "Connect using a different username" to use credentials residing in the Server userbase.
Every now and then when i try to run a program that is on one of my mapped drives a window pops up saying the mapped drive doesn't exist. I go into my computer and sure enough all my mapped drives show disconnected but when I try to open them they open just fine and I can see all the files on the mapped drive. What would cause this?
I have a mapped drive and whenever I try to connect it keeps asking for my user name and password. Using tweak ui I have set my auto logon to the same information that I enter when it asks me for the user name and password.
I can't disconnect some drives that are mapped on a WinXP Pro workstation. I wanted to remove the drive mapping names as they were badly outdated and so deleted the registry key. where the entries were found and then rebooted.Now the connections show up as "Disconnected Network Drive" but all still work. However, I can't disconnect any of them and the "Disconnected Network Drive" will not update to the name of the machine/share even when I go into the share and use it. Really, this is a test machine because I wanted to apply a reg via policyto clear out the strings on logon/logoff so that these were fixed all over the company. I don't understand why this thing is misbehaving though, the key get's recreated and has the name of one machine, but not the others.
Every time I turn my computer on I have to re-enter my username and password to connect to a mapped network drive. The drive is on a server running 2003 at work.The server has the permissions set up to allow me to connect with my server account, but I have XP home on my machine. Is there any way to keep me from having to enter my username and password every day?
An XP Pro SP3 workstation has a mapped drive (f which the workstation does not currently acknowledge as a mapped drive. If I issue a net use command the list reports 2 other properly networked drives, but not the F: drive. However, the F: is available in My Computer and is accessable. The user can run the server based app and make changes all day, but the next day all her changes are gone. To test, from her computer I created a new folder on the f: drive (\serverapps)and copied files into this new folder on the server. No other networked user can see the new folder. Then when I reboot her computer, the new folder is gone on her mapped drive. All other users are using the same mapped drive without issue. Does Windows cache mapped drive activity? I can not recreate the mapped drive because Windows doesn't acknowledge that it exists, but also reports that F: is not available. I can remap the connect using an alternate drive letter and it works properly. Is there a way to reset whatever part of Windows controls drive mapping?
I have a XP Pro SP2 workstation that runs a login script that maps a few drives.When I look in my computer or in explorer they do no show up. If I go to disconnect a network drive they are all listed as connected. all shortcut's that use these mapped drives work.
I just changed my MoBo and then upgraded to Windows XP SP2. Everything is fine except My USB drives and Memory cards in the USB reader do not show up mapped in Explorer. They do show up in Computer Management. I can even assign drive letter there. But they will not show up in Eplorer even after I assign the drive letters.CD ROM and Hard disks all show up. Sandisk media player shows up too. But not USB drives. I have seen several threads with similar issues.
a client of mine lost connection to her mapped drive and has no record of its path or fqdn. does windows keep a log of previously mapped drives? a history anywhere? or is there a way of finding out what drive or share she was mapping to so I can restore the mapping connection?
I cant find any information on how to to do this but I really thought it was possible. I want to place a link on my EUs desktop to a shared folder on a server. I though it was possible through group policy but I cant seem to figure out where the setting is. So, is it possible to do this through a GPO or any other way to do it without going through all the EU PCs and doing it manually.
I have accidentally deleted a folder in my H drive which is mapped to a folder on the server.unfortunately, I dont have a backup of it where do things that we delete go - as I cant find it in my recycle bin.I have also checked the recyble bin of the server but cant find it?
