Re: WinXP file sharing - Mapped drive vs UNC path?
Both on WinXP and no domain, all connecting through a Linksys router.

Normal net access is fine for all machines. Infact this problem is affecting 3 out of 5 machines I tried to map a drive, weird that's it's affecting more than once machine...which leaves me to think the one machine (server2) is having the problems.

But I don't think there's much special on there...I've got a group with assigned users with full permissions on the directory.

I would have thought that if the permissions were wrong then you couldn't see the directory at all. What makes it really weird is that you can see the files no problem, and interact with them, by navigating through My Network Places. But the machine/s freeze when accessing through a mapped drive. The mapping of the drives works as normal, but only freezes when I try to use the map drive.
