Is it possible to map a drive in Windows ME to another computer that is on a different domain?

I try to map the directory and I do not have the option to map it as a different user.

Any ideas?
 
This will not work if I want to log in as a different user on a different domain.
 
You didn't say you wanted to login to a different domain, you asked how to map a drive. You can only be a member of one domain at a time. To access resources from a different domain, if you just need a quick mapping, browse to the share in question, right click on it, and map it. Of course, the same user name and password should exist in the other domain as well.

As long as your ME username/password exists in the other domain (and has access to the share), you should be able to map/access it. But the net use command in ME does not have option to specify username/password, so if the user credentials don't exist on the other domain you will not be able to do this.
