System error 87 has occurred. The parameter is incorrect while mapping a drive
I have a W2K Server running Citrix Metaframe 4.0 - SP4 and most patches.
About a week ago we started getting the following error when users scripts run:
net use j: \\serername\sharename
System error 87 has occurred. The parameter is incorrect.
When we try to map via Windows we get:
"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:
Attempt to access invalid address."
If I reboot in Safe Mode with Networking I am able to map drives.
This is affecting ALL users and is critical. ** Please give me some pointers - I'm fresh out **
I have opened up a MS ticket but they have been of little value.
Additionally, MS products are 'dumping' on occasion.

Hello.
Is the RPC Service running when you get these errors?
Are there any errors in the error log (other than error 87)?
does the servername resolve to the correct IP address?
is the share set to everyone full access (then lock permissions at the NTFS Level)?
the share name is not hidden with a $ at the end?
Let me know if any of these help.

RPC Service is running {locator is not}.
I can ping by server name -
The shares are listed and correct {it's any share - any where}.
I can do a DIR \\servername\sharename and get the proper output. I just can not map the drive.
I've checked WINS, DNS and all normal items.
I've searched Google and everywhere else I can think.
There are not errors in the App log other than stated.
I've disabled the Virus Software - Diskeeper and anything else I can think of.
As stated - in safe Mode w/networking I can map - So it's most likely 3rd party related.
Frustrating to say the least.
I'll throw an additional 500 points to the correct answer if I can. It's important.

When you type Net Use in cmd what do you get in return ? Can you write that info here ?

Yea. that's part of the problem too.
Here's an actual screen capture.
M:\>net use
M:\>
You get nothing! Normally you would see a notice saying nothing mapped.

And if you type Net Use x: \\servername\share ?
Write down the error, or not, please !
