I had the same problem when we got rid of Novell and used Kix scripts for our, now, pure Win2K environment. In the Kix script, I use
code:
 
Shell "net Use P: \\SERVER\PUBLIC"

..instead of the normal
code:
 USE E: "\\SERVER\PUBLIC"

This change connected the drives and got rid of the X's. Also, default disconnect on servers for inactivity is set for 15min. You may want to increase that if disconnects while logged in become a problem
