I have a workstation that loses the network drives from time to time.  The drives are setup using a login script.  From what I can tell it happens at random.  If we re-start the workstation sometimes it works.  It seems that when the workstation is having problems, I can't see it on the domain from a different computer.  I can ping the workstation, just can't see it in Windows Explorer.  I also tried ipconfig/renew when it was having problems and it doesn't work.  It gives an error about RPC server being unavailable.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I'm thinking about rolling back the system to a previous system restore point.  Will that work or wll I still have problems?  I'd like to understand this and fix it instead of rolling back but I don't know how long I can let this workstation have this problem.  Can anyone help me out?
