Network drive access

I have a user who is having problems with I assume it has something to do with The Sync center and offline files. Anyway at the office his network drives won't connect when I try \\servername on his PC not all the server shares display. A while back he wanted to be able to access some of the server shares offline so we set up the sync center on his PC and that seemed to work but but today at the office he cannot access any file shares. Everything else works. Outlook DNS etc  What can I look at here

Same thing, I log back in and 2 of the users 5 drives show up but they don't work I get  The username could not be found The connection has not been restored. His account is fine, his password, isn't locked or anything like that.
Just to clarify:

When you use a UNC path(\\servername\\sharename) do you get a Authentication pop-up or do you get an error here? If so post the error.

If you get the Authentication pop-up what is the error message? Post it. What if you use another password? What if you log-on with another username on the machine?

Also please verify that the right permission is set on the shares.
Yes the error is  The username could not be found The connection has not been restored. It just seems to happen for the one user if I logged in as another user it seems to work. And the permissions are set correctly. This did work fine for him yesterday.
Are you sure that you are typing domain\username in the username field?
It doesn't come up asking for a login it just says The username could not be found
are you able to ping the hostname? Are the two devices on the same domain?
