Office Products "Save As" no working on a networked drive

[Novice]

A few weeks back "Save As" in office products stopped working on a mapped
drive in a peer-to-peer network. The drive is set for off-line use adn works
fine when not connected. Other applications are not suffering from this
problem and new files can be created.

I suspect the problem is in one of the MS auto-upgrades (Office, Windows).

Win XP Pro is mapped to a disk on a WinME machine thru a linksys router. The
set-up was working great and the linksys is not suspected at this point.
(i.e. Nothing has been changed on the router).

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks
