Unless I do a cold boot with the network cable plugged in to my laptop (that is, if I plug in my laptop after having logged in, or even after booting, but before logging in), my laptop does not recognize that it is online unless I perform a manual operation, like mapping a network drive. By default, my laptop has a drive mapped to remote drive on a W2K PC.
This is a great annoyance.
Is this a configuration problem, or is there a simple (and automatic) way in which I can force the laptop to recognize that it is online when I log in.
Some more symptoms:
- when I start the laptop with the cable plugged in, I get the file synchronization window (which is what I want), but after about 10 seconds, a second file synchronization window opens, asking if I want to synchronize).
- the synchronization that runs when I first log in does not give the same feedback as a synchronization done manually, or when I log off. For example, it does not list the .mdb files that are on the network drive that it cannot synchronize.
