Problem with shared folder

[Guest]

I'm having problems accessing a particular shared folder on a Windows 2000
server from a Windows XP Pro laptop. The laptop and server are in differnet
domains and different subnets.

I can setup a share on the server and access it from the laptop without a
problem. I have to login using the credentials from the server domain to do
so. At some point (I'm not sure what causes this yet), I loose the
connection to the shared folder. When this happens and I try to access the
folder I get a Windows Explorer window with 0 files even though there are
file in the folder.

I've used etherreal to view the network traffic to this server from my
laptop. When I make the request to the problem shared folder I noticed that
it is trying to use my laptop login credentials and not the login in the
domain for the server. I'm never prompted to enter a correct username and
password.

Any idea as to why this is happening? Is there any way to get the system to
prompt me for a login to the share so I can specify the correct domain and
login info?

Thanks in advance.

After some addtional testing i think I'm starting to understand what is
happening.

I have two shared folders on a server both have the same permissions, both
are on the same drive at the root level. One of the shared folders works
fine. It authenticates correctly and shows me the files. The other folder
does not authenticate correctly and will not show me the files.

The authentication information must be stored in Windows somewhere to allow
one of the shares to work. Also it must be stored with the share to allow it
to work and not the other one.

Is there a way to access this authentication information for each share and
reset it or set it to the proper values?

Thanks,
