[AccessD] OT - Mapping dialup drive with broadband

...your dos window should remain open until you exit ...however, although w9x's graphical winipcfg is technically not present in XP, you can open Network Connections, right-click any connection, click Status, and then click the Support tab and there is pretty much your old winipcfg ...HTH :)

  I tried on my WXP machine and a dos window opened and then closed again before I could see anything.  What is supposed to happen?

    Depends on your OS.  In 9x, run 'winipcfg' for nt based, ipconfig.
     
    For ipconfig, using 'ipconfig /all' displays all information..including WINS and DNS

      Aha!.  Where do I find those settings so that I can check?

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

        This is slightly related as my users can't synchronise unless we can get them connected :(

        Previously my users had normal modems and were able to dial into a server and map drives ok.

        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 
         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?
