I did have this problem. It has something to do with XP. at this time i was unable to find the required MS documents but this is what I use to circumvent the problem:
net use d: \\computername\sharename /user:usrname /password:urpasswd /persistent:yes i think this is the right syntax. if it is wrong please someone on the group correct it for me. i think you can put a modification of this in your netlogon.bat/logon.bat so that it picks up each time you log on.
