Can't UNC drive map to network PCs
I have a new laptop running VISTA Home Premium. My home network consists of
3 PCs running Win XP Pro, 1 PC running win 2000 Pro and a laptop running Win XP Pro. All of the older w/s can map to the rest of the w/s using UNC mapping with admin user name and password. I can not get the VISTA laptop to connect to the rest of the network w/s using UNC mapping. I get the message Cannot connect to the drive location. I use the diagnose feature and it states that the drive is already mapped on this w/s by a different user. Any ideas on this issue? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Robert, Thanks for the reply. Net use shows no entries at this time. None
in history. What next? "Robert L.

Can't UNC drive map to network PCs
Robert, I created a new user account on the VISTA laptop with admin
privilages and the sane user name as the other PCs on the network have. This did not help map the drive as required. Now I get a message the states the \\workstation\sharepoint does not exist. I am get very frustrated with VISTA. Maybe it is time to sell my 6500 shares in MS. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: It could be firewall or permission issue. have you checked this link?
