You can't map a drive to a nonexistent share. You have to remember that windows
2000 is NT and a network operating system. It's a little more robust and has a lot
more security features built into it than the 9x series. What you can do is the
next time the machine you map to is up.........disconnect the drive after it's been
mapped....remap it and uncheck the "always connect" box. This will stop it from
being a persistent mapping and remove the pause/error message from your bootup on
the occasions when the machine with the share isn't booted up.
