We have several Windows XP machines that are acting very strange. Every
available drive letter is showing "Disconnected Network Drive." You cannot
disconnect these using the net use command. You also cannot map any new
drives because there are no available drive letters because all letters (E-Z)
are showing up as disconnected. I don't know what is causing this or how to
fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

What exact error do you get if you do "net use e: /delete"? Are all of the
letters pointing to the same disconnected drive?

I have the same problem. This is the error that I get...

H:\>net use o: /delete
The network connection could not be found.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250.

I had the same problem on a couple of my machines. Here is how I fixed
my computer:

I went into the registry and looked under:
HKEY_USERS\..\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Network\Persistent Connections
for each user listed. In one of the users, it had a key named Save
Settings. The value of this key was NO. I deleted the key and
rebooted my machine.

My login script ran fine this time and the "Disconnected Network Drive"
disappeared and I was able to map a new drive to that drive letter.

Hope this helps.

Dale
