Shared Folders

I have three PCs on the company network.
Two are recognized by servers -- hostname & password.
The third is not and will not be, it has its own users
and passwords.
The PCs recognized by servers (hostname and password) can
connect to each other by setting up user permissions.
The third PC is a problem. Sometimes I can make it work
by disconnecting one of the shared folders, rebooting and
mapping agin. Now it simply will not connect. I use the
remote PC valid PCname\folder and User & password, or
PCname\Folder Administrator & password. I get the
message about "already connected as another user" etc.
What does this mean, I am disconnected! It has been
diconnected and re-booted. In the past disconnecting one
shared folder and rebooting would allow me to (re-)map
the shared folder, then the other shared folders would
ask for user name and password when I tried to open
them. Now I cannot get it to work at all.

I can see and always reconnect to a printer on this
remote PC withoput a problem, it is just the folders.

Any help appreciated.
