Roaming Profiles Issues!

[Dijital]

I am having issues in my Windows Server 2003/XP Domain environment. Here is my setup:
Server: Windows Server 2003
Clients: Windows XP Pro (All members of the domain)
Profile path: \\server\profiles\%USERNAME% (shared w/everone and full control) also did this under Security settings.

However when ever I log into the domain I get a message saying the network path can not found and it will use a local copy, but then it can't find local copy either so it uses a temp file. At first I wondered if it was only a issure on the wireless but it does it on both.

I am a very big novice when it comes to GPO's so please if you can help me please be as specific as possible. I believe all my rights are set accordingly as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I always have a headace with this.

Share the profiles directory using the File Sharing Wizard in Server 2003, cant remember but I think its Admins Full, everyone else read/write. Also make sure this directory isn't in anything else that is shared. ie its best to put it on the root of a hard drive partition and share it that way, not the hard drive partition root.

Give that a whirl.

Also make sure that you are connecting on links that are over 65k - I think the default behavior of 2k3 is to not update over slow links
