Erratic access to shared drives on network

[darkstar72]

I recently installed XP pro on my HP notebook at work and I'm having difficulty most of the time accessing shared drives on other hosts on the network. All hosts belong to the same domain and I have administrator permissions to access them. When I initally log on to the domain and browse the entire network I can instantly connect with the host's shared drives. After about 15min to an hour, I try to reconnect to the share and the system hangs for awhile and then I'm prompted to enter a login and password. I enter my admin l/p and I'm still refused access. This problem is non-existent on my windows 2000 pc.
HP suggested one solution by bypassing the proxy server for local addresses in the LAN settings in the explorer properties. This still does not work.
Any information you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.

I found this solution at computing.net. Works great!


Goto
Control Panel
Performance and Maintenance
Administrative Tools
Local Security Policy

Under the Local security settings goto

Local Policies
Security options

In the right pain look for.....

Domain memberigitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (allways)

Change setting to disabled

Close the local security settings window and first try reloging into the domain. If for some reason that doesnt work reboot then try it again. This has worked on 2 computers here with XP on it.

similar problems.
also, i can't get the nic to see the router for internet connectivity.
have a 3com which can be finicky but getting the XP driver from them didn't help.

why sometimes and not all the time for the network?

somebody help.

I did some more adjustments in the local security settings and I continue to have the same problem. Anyone know of a good site or book that explains these security settings? There are many of them.
