Hi Guys
My new rig until last night could look at the shares on my server just fine and had a couple of mapped net drives from it, after a few updates it restarted saying could not connect to network drives. When i click on the server or any of the mapped drives I get a username and password prompt, when I put in the username and pass it just comes up with the prompt again, nothing happens.
The username & Pass are the same on the pc's
This must be to do with the updates and I know I could remove them but I would prefer just to sort it out.
Any ideas?

Did the updates change any firewall settings?
