>1. We have 3 offices A, B & C. In office A, I can successfully map a network drive connecting to the server in office B, but fail in mapping a drive to the server in office C. (I can ping the server without problem) However, in office B, there is no problem mapping drives to the servers in both office A & C. What may cause the problem?

It may be a routing issue or a protocol blocking issue. Can you view the availble resources on C from Explorer on A? Are you authenticated on Server C with the user from A?

>2. Before I installed a broadband line in my home, I was able to map network drives to the servers of all offices A, B & C at home. After I have upgraded my 56K dialup to a broadband line. I failed in mapping a drive to any of the offices. However I can successfully ping the servers of all offices. What's the problem?

It could be you ISP doesn't open the necessary IP ports for the mapping to take place. Many ISPs do this for security reasons (they say).
