Connecting to network drive - odd issue

[DaveK]

One of our workstations can no longer connect to a shared drive.

If we login to Workstation A with a specific username/pass/domain, we can
connect to the drive with no issues.

If we login to Workstation B, with the SAME username/pass/domain as
Workstation A, one of the drives will not allow us to connect.

In both cases, we are supplying a username/password during the connect, not
the workstation credentials. However, as noted, one of the workstations will
not connect.

On Workstation B, we can use the NET USE command to connect via the IP
address rather than the NetBios name, and the connection is allowed, however
an 'Access denied' error occurs when Workstation B attempts to access the
drive.

Any ideas???

Perhaps the credentials are not as identical as you think they are. Try
specifying them explicitly like so and report what happens:

net use Q: \\Server\Share /user:domain\UserName Password
