Mapped network drive problem with media player

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I have a network drive mapped to my computer which contains most of my
music files. I can browse it in Windows Explorer without a problem,
however when I try to play files from it using Media Player 9, I get a
message telling me that the network drive is unavailable. This also
happens when I use the library. The strange part is that if I try to
access exactly the same files but through My Network Places instead of
the drive map, Media Player will play them without a problem. Does
anyone know what the problem could be?

Thank you very much
