Our network consists of several Windows 2000 SP4 servers and less than 100
Windows XP SP2 clients.  Windows firewall is disabled and no other personal
firewall software is being used (network is behind a hardware firewall). 
Just about every client PC on the network gets this same annoying balloon at
startup: Could not reconnect all network drives. Open My Computer to check
the status...(etc.)
The message occurs at random - some PC's don't get the error and others
probably less than half the time the computer is started.  Every time, if you
go to My Computer and check the status, EVERY network drive shows up and is
comletely accessible.  We use a logon script to map the drives.  Any ideas
what could be causing this?  Is there any way to prevent this annoying
balloon from showing up? 
Thanks in advance!
Sam
