Sounds like the broadband connections changed their DNS or WINS settings, so they can't resolve the computer names anymore.

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 - "The following error occurred while trying to connect F: to \\OAServer\OAServer <file://\\OAServer\OAServer> The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again." Does anyone know of any issues with broadband (or similar high speed connections) that interfere when going back to normal 56k modems?
