Very outside this forum's topic.... If anyone has any ideas...

We've got a new Win XP client on a Microsoft network of Win 2000 clients. Worked fine for about 3 days.

All Client PCs "share" disk folders with each other. For unknown reasons, the Win XP machine shut down without being instructed by the operator. (We have Norton AV on the PC, not likely to be a virus that did the shut down). After reboot, the Win XP machine began to request username / password login for each drive folder on the other clients. Every time. Never remembers.

Short of formatting and rebuilding the XP client. I'm lost.

Any ideas?

SamC, is it possible that the XP user has started to sign on with a local user instead of the Domain user? Shot in the dark, I'm a programmer, not a systems guy. Good luck.

Sounds like a virus to me. How much do you trust NAV ?
