A user is using Windows XP and the computer is not part of the domain.  The
user is mapping a shared network drive.  The server is part of the domain.
She is getting the error message “Microsoft Windows Network: Element not
found.  This connection has not been restored” If the drive is disconnected
and remapped, the drive will reconnect but the error message surfaces after
the user reboots her computer.

try net use * /d and reboot. Do you still have the same problem>
