My situation
SBS2000
VPN & OWA in use
Drive mapping with DOS script

situation works fine with most vpn clients
however, when the client also activates offline folder settings, the
clients cannot find the drive mappings. the only thing they see are the
folders & files they made to available off line.
Running the DOS script helps sometimes but mostly you can not find the
mappings.
(it seems the computer thinks its not connected to the server)

I tried this with my own XPpro client. and indeed when I activate the
'available offline' my drive mappings are not working. As soon as i disable
the make 'available offline' it works fine again.

btw.
OWA works fine and also pinging to the fileservers are ok. I am almost sure
that the 'make available offline' is the cause. caused be the slow (cable or
adsl) connection?
If so , is there a patch or so, or is there an other reason
