Mapped Network Hard Drive problem

Tags: drive, xp, mapped, network, problem
When this laptop boots up, I've mapped it to a network drive where it's backup files are stored.  When the backup runs, the backup program says that the path is unavailable.  When I click on Windows Explorer, I can see the mapped drive and there are no errors when the PC boots... it sees drive fine.  I must click on the mapped drive - after that, the backup program can find the mapped drive location and copy files to it.  Is there a way to make Windows XP Home open this link automatically so I don't have to click on the mapped drive location first?
