flaky authentication issue

I have an XP user that is being denied access to server
resources. The server is a W2K Small Business Server,
Everthing was fine until we physically moved the server
(coincidental?)from one office to another office, roughly
20 feet away. Nobody else is affected. Her machine
boots, she logs on, and when she tries to access any
mapped drives thru mycomputer an error message appears
stating she doesn't have access. Thru NetworkNeighborHood
she double clicks on the server icon and gets an error
about not having permissions. She was fine before we moved
the server. But yet she can get into her exchange account,
located on the same server, thru her outlook client. I
logged on as another user on her pc and everything was
OK. Also, since this began, her outlook 2002(xp)client
asks her to authenticate. She was fine before we moved
the server. I've check her permissions on these folders,
looked at her account in AD, nothing in the event
logs,...she has had the same problem for 3 days now, since
we moved the server. She comes in around 7:30am and can't
access the shares. At roughly 9:00am everything seems to
be normal as she can access the shares but she will still
get the authentication request with the outlook client.

I am experiencing a simial issue with two new Dell's
Runnig XP Pro with Office 2003. I am able to add the
machines to the domain (Windows2000) and the users can
log on, but after a short time they can no longer connect
to network resources. Also if they close Outlook and
reopen it prompts for a network signon. I think it is
problem with one of the new service packs or Office 2003
as both of these machines are brand new and have all of
the Microsoft updates. I removed the first machine from
the domain, and then re-added it to the domain and it
seems to be working better. I have yet to try the second
machine as it has only been on the network for 2 days.
Reseting the user account, and pc account on the domain
doesn't seem to make a differnce.
 
Interesting...Mine are also new dell's, they are optiplex
160L's...but I only have the problem with one of them and
it doesn't seem to be machine related.
