Hi Guys, YES! YES! I have the same problem. Any backup or other software can not access mapped network drives on a peer to peer network backup storage server (NAS) in Win XP Pro SP2 after bootup, UNLESS you click on the mapped network drive first via Windows Explorer. The 2 separate network drives seem to be connected, as they do NOT have a red x through them, but any software (e.g. backup software, any software that has to access data on the network drive) does not see either drive until it is toggled on via Windows Explorer. I have made sure the connect at startup box is checked is enabled, tried the run:..../persistent switch that someone posted to keep the drives connected, but nothing works. Microsoft does not seem to have a solution on their site that I can find. This is a VERY COMMON problem. Surely someone has a solution? Help! George
