size=2>Another thing you can try is instead of mapping <A
href="file://\\OAserver\Oaserver">\\OAserver\Oaserver</A>, trying using the ip
address of the server. eg <A
href="file://\\192.168.0.11\OAserver">\\192.168.0.11\OAserver</A></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487544004-13032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
bypasses wins/dns and unless they need to browse the network should solve the
issue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=487544004-13032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Another thing to keep in mind 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></SPAN></DIV>

<DD>Cross post AccessD, AccessL<BR><BR>
<DD>This is slightly related as my users can't synchronise unless we can
get them connected :(<BR><BR>
<DD>Previously my users had normal modems and were able to dial into a
server and map drives ok.<BR><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<BR></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."<BR></FONT>
<DD><BR>
<DD>Does anyone know of any issues with broadband (or similar high speed
connections) that interfere when going back to normal 56k modems?<BR><BR>
