Default Unable to match certain folders on Vista 32 only

I have a multi-boot machine on which I cannot map certain folders to
which I have access at work. I can map these folders with no problem
when I boot to XP or Vista 64 on the same machine (using the same
batch file for the net use commands) but I get a system error 53
(network path not found) error when I try to do so using Vista 32. As
far as I can tell the network configurations are identical in the
Vista 64 and Vista 32 installations.

In Vista 32 I can ping the servers on which the folders reside and I
can map other folders in the same domain. How can this be—and how can
I correct it since Vista 32 is my primary working OS?

I would be grateful for any help or insight on the matter.

System error 53 could be a firewall issue. For troubleshooting, start the
Vista 32 with clean boot.

Thanks for this I will check out the reference you've provided but I
doubt this could be a firewall issue since all the systems on this
machine have the OS firewall turned off. The only active firewall is
in the router/access point and is the same for all the OSs.

Okay—let me play this out a bit. Suppose I do a clean boot and the
problem disappears in Vista 32. That leaves me with the needle-in-a-
haystack chore of putting everything back in one-by-one until I find
whatever is causing the problem, not something I'm likely to have the
time to do anytime soon.

Are there no “educated guesses” possible about what might be causing
this problem (i.e., applications known to cause system 53 errors
selectively on some folders but not on others)?

If the problem disappears after the clean boot. You can check half services
and keep the rest (you suspect or they are security software such as McAfee,
Norton, Cisco) unchecked. Please post back with the result.
