I am running a small server with Win 2k Advanced Server
and a small network. I have 2 PC's hooked up via TCP/IP.
When either of the computers is rebooted, it looses access
to the mapped drives on the server. Also, the server does
not show up in network neighborhood on the computer that
was rebooted. If I uncheck all the items in network
properties on the rebooted computer, click OK, then reopen
network properties and recheck everything, click OK, then
the shared drives are accessable again.

I have been looking for a solution for months. Please,
please, help!
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

Why not map the shares through a login script? How you do this depends on
whether you are running a domain or workgroup.
