Drive mapping disk size isn't right

Hello,
I've got a share on my 2003 server set so that everyone in the domain has
access to it. The problem is when people map a drive to this share, it does
not display the right size of the disk, nor the right amount of free space.
Different machines show different amounts of free space. But they all show
it as a 1GB drive and when people copy files over to, they may get a disk
full error, depending on how much free space there computer shows it having.
However the drive is over 160GB and has over 100GB free.

What could be causing this? By the way, when I map to this drive it shows
the right size and free space. I have administrative priveledges.

Ray

Are you perchance using user quotas on this volume? Sounds like it.
