is that win9x doesn't handle switching like this very well. Not
sure if you are using win2k/xp as you didn't mention it. My main
notebook is Win2K, and I often hibernate as opposed to shutdown as it
keeps my workspace. Using win2k I can switch from home to work, to
clients networks with no issue. Win2K releases the network
configuration cleanly in my experience and grabs a new one at whatever
site I am at if DHCP is set up.</font><br>

</font>
<dd>Cross post AccessD, AccessL<br>
<dd>This is slightly related as my users can't synchronise unless we can
get them connected :(<br>
<dd>Previously my users had normal modems and were able to dial into a
server and map drives ok.<br>
<dd>Two of them have connected to broadband lines. Now when they
disconnect the broadband connection and use their modems to connect to
the server they are able to make a connection but are not able to map
drives. The error they get is -<br><br>
<dd><font face="arial" size=2>"The following error occurred while
trying to connect F: to
<a href="file://\\OAServer\OAServer">\\OAServer\OAServer</a></font>
<dd> <font face="arial" size=2>The computer or sharename could not
be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again."</font>
<dd>
<dd>Does anyone know of any issues with broadband (or similar high speed
connections) that interfere when going back to normal 56k modems?<br>
