can browse server shares, but can not map via net use

hello, i have windows server 2008 r2 server, ad installed , working that has been running year now, has been going great.

untill today.

i have had several users tell me no longer have thier shared drives server.  after checking, appears login script (that has been there since day one) asking user name , password reguardless logs in pc. odd thing tho, can browse unc path, , access shares fine way. make sure there wasn't issue login script, tried map drive command line, got same thing.

does know why happening, , how can fix it??

my clients running winxp sp3
