    Shared network drive
    Hi all,

    My question is related to shared network drive between the host and client terminal.

    Work environment is windows server 2003.

    I created shared drive on my server & client terminal.
    But
    When I log in next time, network drive and printer both gets disconnected on client PC.

    And I get red cross on both network drive on client PC and printer.
    And if I am trying to connect it, it says Network not found.

    What is the problem and how to fix it.

    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Just a starting place, but you only share the drive on the server where it resides and give permissions to who may share it. You cannot share the drive on the client, only with it. Might be a place to start.
    Peace,

    Also, have you checked the Reconnect at login when you map the drive?
