I have a user with a Windows XP Pro (SP2+) laptop that is having a problem
keeping a shared folder on an NT4 server mapped. It randomly disconnects.
We can't seem to figure out a way to either get it to reconnect or
permanently stay connected. When he tries to access the mapped drive, he
either gets the message that the drive (Z:) is already in use or he gets a
prompt to enter in his user credential (and then a subsequent message
indicating that that user is already authenticated).

We're in a Server 2003 environment and the customer is authenticating to the
domain without any problem.

He is mapping the network drive with the "reconnect at logon" option set.

I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. I've checked the firewall on
his system and I've tried removing his computer profile from AD. I haven't
tried deleting his user account yet. I'm not sure that that is the cause of
the problem.

If anyone has any suggestions on what else I should look at, I would
appreciate it.
