This means that you already have something mapped at that name.

Open up a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd)
then type "net use"

Look at all the connections in there, and remove the one that has the same name that you're trying to connect to by typing this:

net use \\server\drive /d

or

net use driveLetter /d

where drive letter is something like m: or y:
