When you map drives under Windows, there's an option to automatically map them after start up. If you're having problems with this, more details would be useful, such as what OS you are using, if you're computer is able to even get on the network at all etc...

Mr. Rick,

This is the details of my PC :
O.S : Windows 2000

When i start my pc it will show something like restoring your network drive but right now it is not there, everytime i switch my pc i have to mapped the drives back again... but to the other pc even if you close their pc the mapped dirves is still there.

Thanks and Regards,
Nico

You need to authenticate with the server each time you login.
If your PC's aren't joined to the servers Domain, you need to authenticate with it somehow.

Try doing the following in a cmd prompt:

net use \\servername or server IP address /user:username password
