Just wanted to let anyone know I resolved this issue.
Just a breif recap.
One workstation on this network would always have a red X (disconnect)
on the drive mappings right after login or mapping another network
drive.
How I resolved the issue.
1.) I moved the system to my home network.
Mapped a network drive same problem
2.) Unplugged all the CD-ROM, etc but the hard drive.
Mapped a drive and everything was fine.
3.) Plug CD-ROM's back and changed the drive letter back to their
orginal letter
Like D: and E: drive.
Once back to the original Letter. One CD-rom contained a Default
Label.
This Label was on the drive without any media in the drive.
I did a regedit on the system to remove DefaultLabel
So far everything is working fine

I have 2 machines with this same problem.
This problem is on 2 different customers systems
They are both Windows 2000 Pro SP4.
I have network drive mapping through a login script.
The drive mappings immdeiately show disconnected (this
happens even if you disconnect and manual remap the drive)
The autodisconnect has been set to 0xffffffff on both the
server and the workstation.
I added a CD-ROM to 1 workstation and the problem appeared.
Another I added a SANDISK, ZIP and CD-RW drive.
I know the problem surfaced after doing this.
I think it has something to do with changing the drive
letters in Disk Management.
Tks
