I have a batch file I use habitually in both Vista and XP (dual-boot
recent Core-Duo machine) to mount ten network drives (VPN connection). All ten mappings work fine in XP. In Vista, however, two of the mappings always draw a "network path was not found" error. The other eight, including three in the same subdomain as the two that don't work, connect with no problem. Why might Vista be choking on two specific net use commands that work just fine from the same machine when running XP? Does anyone have any ideas???? |

In most cases, the system error 53 is name resolution or firewall issue. Do
all 10 mappings connect to the same server? -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com wrote in message ...

I doubt name-resolution problems. I can ping the host machines for the two folders that won't connect. |

PS--one active firewall only, the one in my router--these mappings work fine when I reboot to XP. |

It could be the master browser issue. Check the status using browstat.exe.
