I made sure all the odbc connections were correct and not corrupt and I xchecked to make sure that in the active directory this user had all permissions to connect to the file server. I think it may have something to do with the DNS or reverse-lookup dns Does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions

It is an exhange server running windows nt server 2003 on service pack one. The internet works fine so it is finding the LAN it just won't recognize the server for the share drives. I try to map a network drive and it can not locate the extention. The workgroup is set correctly the permissions are set correctly I think it has something to do with the dns. Although like I said not sure...Any other info that I need to provide...?
