Ah yes, the old worn-out F5 trick ;-)

I can't say for sure, but most of the problems you're experiencing are
classic broadcast failures.  Some of the more unusual ones (like the
red X on the mapped network drive) I've never heard of, but if Windows
can't find the name of the server I wouldn't be surprised if it assumed
the server was offline and consequently displayed a red X...so I
think if you get broadcasting fixed, it's quite likely to make almost
all these issues go away.

Cheers,
Adam.
