After mapping network drives in XP, they work for a
while, then sporadically when trying to access I receive
this error:

" The local device name is already in use. The
connection has not been restored."

Re-Booting the machine does remap the drives. Users are
not happy with this solution. Any Ideas????

Hi Rick -

When you mapped the drive(s) you should click the "Reconnect at logon" box.
