Mapped Drives Lost on Reboot

Hi, Ive 4 computers all running Win2000 Pro. All have different network cards. 3 of these systems have a mapped drive to the 4th one. These all seem to work fine until reboot where almost every 2nd attempt the systems will say they cannot connect to the mapped network drive and do i want to reconnect at next logon. However when you then go into my computer and click the mapped drive which now has an X, it goes straight into it. This happens on all 3 systems intermittantly. Once they connect to the mapped drives they work fine until the next reboot where they complain again.

It seems the the passowrd authentication problem. Make sure u have same user id and password on all machines where ur mapp drive is looking , If u are working in a work group. if u are using domain login the problem could be somthing else. check for the sahreing properties any password fixed for it.
