I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and I've got a few shares on my NAS that are mapped to reconnect automatically.
I can access the drives soon after starting windows but after a period of inactivity I get the error "The local device name is already in use". This cannot be remedied until I restart the computer - I've tried disconnecting and re-mapping without success.
This was working fine until I recently reinstalled Windows and I'm not sure what is going on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Alan
