More Information

I have a user with 8-10 drive mappings to 2 different servers; he is running XP
professional SP2 at the desktop. His H: drive mapping contains an accounting application.
When he fires the accounting application and then subsequently runs Windows
Media Player to listen to an audio CD, his connectivity to H: is dropped and the accounting application hangs.
Windows Explorer still shows all the drive mappings by letter, but you
cannot navigate any data on any drive. If I \\file_server1\ I can get a
share list, but nothing from the \\file_server2\ box...it just errors.

Checked the NIC card driver version, updated that. Attempted to run other
applications after firing the accounting application and no issues. He does
do some offline file sync'ing.

Any ideas? Any XP updates that address a similar issue? Any other
troubleshooting suggestions?
