Mapped drive not reconnecting

Win2K Pro workstation on a mixed workgroup Netware 5/Windows 2000 LAN using
Novell Client 4.83. Created a new profile on the workstation and mapped F:
to Win2K server and J:, K:, & L: to the Netware server using Windows
Explorer Tools. Drive mappings are fine until shutdown or reboot. On logon,
F: maps to the Netware server. I can remap the drive manually but it won't
reconnect after logon. Tried using the Netware map utility with same
results. I am checking the Reconnect after Logon box and yes, the user has
been added to the Windows 2000 server. No other profile on this workstation
fails to reconnect to the Windows 2000 server. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

You would be far better off using an explicit logon script
to restore network connections instead of relying on some
tick boxes. A sequence of

net use s: \\SomeServer\SomeShare

will do very nicely.
