So you have a mapped network drive that worked yesterday but won’t connect today, what happened? You’re plugged into the network, other people can access the share without a problem but for some reason you can’t. The likely cause is the “WorkStation” Service was not able to start. To check, go to “Start” -> “All Programs” -> “Administrator Tools” and select “Services”. In the list of services, scroll down to “Workstation” and double click on it. The Startup type should be set to automatic and the service status should show started. If it is not started, press the “Start” button and you should be able to access your shares. On some slower machines that are overloaded with start up services and applications, it’s possible not all of the services will start in a timely manner such as the Workstation service. If the service continually does not start on boot up, look into disabling some of the start up programs or services.<\/p>\n
