Problem with a red x on mapped drives

Symptoms: 1. there three computers in the peer to peer workgroup with a
Multi-user version of Peachtree. Two computers were just upgraded from ME to
XP Home and third one runs ME. After this upgrade, XP #2 shows a red x on
the mapped XP #1 peachw folder and can't run Peachtree unless you
double-click red x marked peachw drive to active it.
2. You may also experience saving issue too. Sometimes, when saving a file
to a network drive with red x, you may get an error which says document not
saved while is saving.
3. You may have browser issue when opening My Network Places and can't see
any or some computers. Or it takes long time to shows networking computers
in My Network Places.
4. Firewall and autodisconnect are not issues here because all firewall and
autodisconenct are disabled.

Resolution: 1. Make sure no browser problem (Re: Browser issues)
2. Create a logon batch file with non-persistent mapping.
3. You may want to turn Autodisconnect off on the server.
