XP Home and server 2003

[JEDORI]

I have a client that is using the above in a Workgroup and when you log on to the XP machine it won't automatically connect the Mapped drives or give you access to the networked printers. The users are set up on the server. I can go in and manually map a drive to give them access after they log in but the regular login should work...


TIA,

Jeff

What clues are in the Event Viewer?

XP Home is not really suited to a Domain situation. Are they logging in locally only, then trying to access Shared resources on the Server?

The PC is set up to the correct Workgroup, a .local Workgroup, and their accounts are set up on the server. So, when they log on they are logging on to the Workgroup. I have created an Icon so they can connect through a mapped drive which gets them connected in a round about way.


Thanks,


Jeff
