Disconnected Network Drive Error

I have a Windows 2003 Server SE and have mapped a network drive on a Network
Attached Storage device.

Windows reports that the drive is disconnected in My Computer. However it is
not as clicking on it brings up the drive and it can be accessed without
problems.

My backup software however registers the drive as offline since its being
told that from Windows and will not backup to it.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance.

Turns out the NAS device runs on linux and its a bug in the Samba software
which emulates the windows file share system. Switched to MS Backup instead
of Retrospect and it works fine.
