Do you have a network diagram that you can show us? Where is your network storage device in relation to your 1) internal core router and 2) external router?

Basically IP address is the unique parameter to access the system in a network. So, please check the IP address os your system after internet down at you network. I think the IP addresses are released once after internet down, thats the reason you are not able to access the share point.

re: about network drive

It sounds like you want to connect to a document at a remote office. In that case, I would talk to your ISP, and look into your connection type - if you are guaranteed to a specific level of service, what that is, and what the next tier is. There's not too much you can do locally if you want to connect to a remote location and your internet connection is shot.

hi siddhartha92,
Where exactly are the computers located?, is it in the same local area or a building per se?, are they connected thru a cable?, if thats so, youre only connected thru LAN, so might do this, how bout try providing the network drive over the LAN cable without the internet?, what kind of platform are you using?,
win2k3 active directory?

say, if the case just on two branch offices, how far are they connected?,
if they are connected thru wire, then do what i mentioned,
place the network drive into a dedicated file server(computer)
put a static ip add to that computer,

option1*
then if youre using windows server 2003 AD then just simply map the ipaddress to each user acct( it may be hard if you are dealing with hundreds of users)

option2*

or just tell them to access the network drive go to run= type \\192.168.0.1 (this is just sample IP add of the dedicated file server)

remember this option will be more difficult in the point of view of the users because everytime they will need to get the data into the network drive they have to type the whole ipaddress of the server,

hope this will help you,
