Mapping drive issues in Vista

"the network is not present or started"
"The specified network provider name is invalid"

uninstall/reinstall drivers failed, changing bindings, sfc/scannow failed, ssafe mode, last known good, uninstalling and reinstalling software recently changed, windows updates etc. uninstalling client for msn, etc etc etc.

Fix was:
change \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order

The value data for the ProviderOrder value name on a typical Vista workstation should be:

LanmanWorkstation,RDPNP,webclient

Whatever happened this had no settings at all.
