could not reconnect all network drives

Hi folks.

So I have my nice new Synology DS710+ NAS set up and I've mapped a few netork drives in Windows 7. On all my Windows 7 machines I get the "could not reconnect all network drives" ballon message in the system tray when the system starts and the drives are marked with red crosses in 'My Computer'.

My question is; can I get Windows to assume the drives are still connected? They are set to reconnect at logon and the credentials are saved.

Any ideas? Things like this annoy me. Now I come to think of it, that particular notification has been an issue since Windows XP!

Cheers in advance.

I have the same issue with my DS410.

The issue is not unique to synology products though, I get it with all mapped drives.

I see this if my server is turned off when I boot up a machine, but if my server is turned on and and I boot up a W7 box, I don't get the message - as you would expect

Yeah, I think it's an issue with Samba on the NAS. I never turn off the NAS.
