I'd say upgrade the 2 machines that have the mapped drive problems.. That or see if they've all of the updates available from MS. You might want to try a third party solution if upgrading is impossible.

It could be that the two different versions are incompatible with the network mapped drive scheme used..

Double check the machines.. might need to just do a fresh install and then network them into the existing network.. that may work.

Not really sure.. seems like a unique problem.
