The following error occurred while reconnecting E: this request is not accepted by the network.
Im getting: The following error occurred while reconnecting E: this request is not accepted by the network. Try again later. Do you want to restore this connection the next time you log on?
I have about 16 computers that are taking turns getting this error.
I have enough CALS on the server. Ive checked the connection limit on the share, ive been beating a brick wall on this.

Are the permissions set correctly?
Are your users local admin on their respective workstations?
Which OS is running on the workstations?
Have you thought about deactivating the workstations' Windows Firewalls perhaps (not really needed in a domain environment).
What is the syntax of the login script you are using?
Is something else using the drive letter E: on some people's computers (maybe a USB flash drive)? That could contribute to the random factor.
You have enough CALS on the server, but what you might not know is newer routers these days have CALS of their own. Sounds like you ran out of CALS on the router.

On my router? Its the isp's router.
Permissions are correct, if not then they wouldn't be able to get on at all.

My server is dhcp server. The router is simply my gateway.
Have you looked at any of my queries/suggestions above? Anything there that might help you further?

Drive e: is not being used.
Firewalls disabled.
Mixed win.7 and xp.
Ill get the syntax and post.

Blocking one or two consecutive connections (where the problem hops from one computer to the other) sounds like CALS on the router to me. I would call the ISP and ask them if this router has CALS.

How does the router have any control over lan connections? Its not leasing ips.

I asked and they said there are no cals on the router.
How does the router have any control over lan connections? A VLAN configuration requires going through the router to route to different subnets/ VLANs.
How complex is your broadcast domain? If you are routing from one VLAN to another, it would mean your router has too many consecutive connections going through it. Yes, newer routers have CALS. That was my first guess.
Now, tell me a little bout the E: drive. E: drive means nothing to me. Is it a file server within a SAN, a server farm in the cloud, a server on your corporate WAN, a local file share?

Its local file sharing. Im not sure if its VLAN configuration.... ;-/
They piped in a line, provided their own managed router, gave me an ip/subnet/gateway etc.

Well, ping it:
>Ping Servername.domain.name
See if it's on the same subnet as you. Most of the time, different VLANS are on different subnets.
>Ping Servername.domain.name
See if it's on the same subnet as you. Most of the time, different VLANS are on different subnets.

Domain name? What domain name?
There is no domain except my local domain.

Your file share is probably on a different subnet. Sounds like a networking issue.
ASKER
If it was on a different subnet, then it would be consistently unreachable.
True enough, unless you lost the NetBIOS resolution from the computer's cache. Much like DNS, NetBIOS entries are cached. If on a different subnet, after a while, you could loose that cached entry and your mapping goes away.
Try mapping via IP (and forgo name resolution) to see if the mapping is more consistent. If so, your mapping goes away after the name resolution cached entry is cleared from the system.

This is still unresolved.

Its not on a different subnet and it is not resolved.
