Error received when attempting to connect to the Network

Hello,

I've gone through all of the steps adding a new user account in ADS and on the desktop. We're using Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2000. I configured the PC at my desk using my network connection. Everything worked fine - connected to the network ok. However, when I moved the PC to the user's location, now I receive the following message when attempting to view Network Drives: 'An error occurred while reconnecting X: to \\server-1\company Microsoft Windows Network The local device name is already in use. The connection has not been restored"

Haven't a clue as to the problem. I have tried using different ethernet cables, moving the connection from one port to another on the switch.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for your time,
