xp pc on a 2000 domain loosing visability to drive

I have an office with 4 pc's 2 running xp and 2 running 2000, the server is set up with Server 2000 and it is a domain. they all have a drive maped to the server Q drive which is a data folder shared out. One xp pc has been acting flakey with the Q drive. One minute it is fine she can see all the folders in there and the next it is saying the folder is empty. She also said that she saved a file to the Q drive and when she went over to another pc it was the old file still there?

Any ideas what to look for?

Make sure her Q drive IS mapped to the same location. How does the mapping occur? Login script, group policy, etc..?

Are offline files supported? She may have networking issues and be only writing to a local offline copy.

I mapped the Q drive manually when I set it up, her previous 2000 pc had offline files working but I did not trn it on on this one.

Yes member of the domain
Yes using DHCP will have to look at pc tomorrow to verify DNS but it is set to Auto so should be good
drive mapping is set in AD user account.
