Is this a Win95 bug?
This is a discussion about Is this a Win95 bug? in the Legacy OS category; We are using 5 Windows 95 workstations and a Windows 2000 server at my work place. The windows 95 systems are the original win 95 release. We don't have any service packs, and are not using version a, b, or c, just the original.
We are using 5 Windows 95 workstations and a Windows 2000 server at my work place. The windows 95 systems are the original win 95 release. We don't have any service packs, and are not using version a, b, or c, just the original. Now here is my problem.
Almost every morning at least 1 or 2 out of the 5 workstations needs to have the network drive re-mapped. It's like windows is forgetting about it. I have it set to reconnect at logon, but never the less 1 or 2 a day have this prob. Is this a bug? If not, what might be the cause?

Yes this is a bug! Fix for it is to install "at least" Service Pak 1 for Windows 95.
You should consider adding the drive mapping command to the users login script on the windows 2000 server.
For example in a text file called login.bat
net use m: \\servername\sharename
Then make sure each user is running that script at login (via the User manager or Active Directory Users and Computers).
