It is difficult discussing technical things when there is a language barrier. Perhaps it would be better if you posted in a newsgroup specifically for your language. If it is French (my guess), then look for groups in the list at the following site that have *.fr in them: http://aumha.org/nntp.htm Otherwise, have your IT Dept. take a look or call a local professional. Good luck, Malke If I understand you correctly, it sounds like your systems are pointing to a
3rd party DNS server. This is not good. Your network has to have a DNS server. It should point to the 3rd party DNS servers via "Forwarders" in the DNS configuration. It should point to itself for DNS resolution. All workstations must point to that internal DNS server *NOT* the external one for name resolution. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Hank Arnold "Marcel" <Mar***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A7C2DC92-2A9A-454F-AFA7-CEFAD4634661@microsoft.com... >I think the problem is something to do with the DNS but not sure. the dns >is > managed by a third party system and I dont this things resolve correctly > throught out the network. > > "Marcel" wrote: > >> Malke >> >> thats the issue nothing has changed. its doing something by its self. >> >> "Malke" wrote: >> >> > msnews.microsoft.com wrote: >> > >> > > I have windows 2000 server with xp clients. >> > > >> > > All of a sudden, xp clients keep loosing map drives and they have to >> > > reboot. >> > > >> > > Any suggestion ? >> > > >> > > Thanks >> > >> > The key phrase here is "all of a sudden".

That said, the simplest workaround is to create batch files that map and unmap drives. The command to unmap a drive is: NET USE * /DELETE The command to map a drive is: NET USE Z: \\server\share /persistent:no Replacing the drive letter, server name, and share name appropriately. Specifying /perstent:no tells windows not to try to remember the drive mappings, which your systems seem to have a problem with. If people's drives become unmapped, they can restore them by running the batch file. You probably also want to tell them to unmap the drives in explorer as well. Mapping this way (non-persistent) sometimes fails if windows is trying to restore a persistent share. This should only be considered a temporary fix until the "real" problem is
identified and resolved. Also, if there are DNS issues, these commands may not work. One might have to put in the command NET USE * \\nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn\sharename where "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" is the IP address of the server.... -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Hank Arnold "Ron Ruble" <raffl***@att.net> wrote in message news:scoHf.13481$id5.4247@bgtnsc04-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > > As indicated by others, something surely changed. > Since it's several machines, I would also guess the > DNS server settings are the reason. > > That said, the simplest workaround is to create batch > files that map and unmap drives. > > The command to unmap a drive is: > > NET USE * /DELETE > > The command to map a drive is: > > NET USE Z: \\server\share /persistent:no > > Replacing the drive letter, server name, and share > name appropriately.
