Hi


I have a win 2000 client in a win 2000 Server domain that act very weird. I cant't seem to map network drives to it. I have a login script that I run for all users in the domain. It work fine for all of them except this client. Nothing get mapped and I cant map it through the "map network drive" option either. When I try to map network drives manually I get a "no logon servers can be found". And thats the weird part, I do get a "your network password expires in 3 days, would you like to change it" message from the domain server, so i get in contact with the server. But no network shares.....




Regards

First idea:
path - \\ipaddress\shared_folder
connect as - machine_name\local_user_name
(machine name is from the network identification tab of system properties)

This will force the authentication for the local user.

Second idea:
This sounds like cache credential issue. 1) make sure the computers in the same network, the same workgroup/domain and have created the same username. 2) use net use \\servername\sharename password /user:username to cache the credential. For more information, go to
