Re: Problems mapping a drive to the IFS

["Mark Allen" <scprideandms@xxxxxxxxx>]

Anythong common among the PCs that can't(OS, SP levels etc).  I know that we
had issues very similar with PC's with SP3 for XP acting "strangely" (i.e.
could connect one time and not the next) even after multiple reboots.  Did a
test on a vitual with SP3 same issue, restored to prior SP3 and it was
fine.  Hapened to abut 10% of the OC's with SP3.
