Mapped Network Drive

I am having an "issue" with mapping the QDLS folder (don't give me any grief about that, please). I have two 520 systems both at V5R4. One system maps QDLS fine. The other system, however, refuses to map it even though it did map a couple of weeks ago. Whether I use Windows Explorer or iNav, I get an error that "Access to the specified share is denied."

Since one system maps fine, I checked the security. Both have *Public *RWX access. The system for which the mapping worked did not ask me for a user id and password, but the failing system does. Even using QSECOFR doesn't work, although it gives me a different error (dialog box): "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again." I am not sure that I understand this message, but it sounds like it thinks I already have a connection to the folder. But, when I run "Disconnect network drive..." in Windows Explorer, it does not show up; though, when I try to use Explorer's "Map Network Drive..." function and look at the drop down list in the 'Folder' element, I do see the folder.

For what it's worth, I had to disconnect the network drives for both systems yesterday to re-assign drive letters. One system, as I said, re-connected fine using another letter (X). Tried using Q and Y for the second system with the same results. I even tried stopping the file share in iNav (worked) and re-starting the share (again, worked), but I still could not map the folder to a network drive. Also, I am running Windows XP with SP2 on my PC.

Thanks.
