    Recently, I had a Win2003 SBS running a small domain. I had to reformat the
    server and install Win2K server instead and did not setup the domain. I left
    the network as a workgroup. On all my workstations i disconnected the
    previous mapped drives to the old domain controller and re-mapped the same
    drive letters to the new Win2K server in the new workgroup. My Windows 2000
    desktops now always show a red X on the mappings even though i can always
    connect to them. My XP desktops had no problems and do not show the red x's
    Any ideas?
    Is there something that needs to be deleted or re-configured on the Win2K
    desktops? On the previous mappings, one drive was assigned through the login
    script and the other was just a simple mapping

    Any help would be great!!
