trying to login to w2k pro desktop with dos drivers

[Addled]

Not sure if this is the right group, but I'm trying to
create a boot diskette that can log a laptop from the dos
prompt to a share on a desktop running windows 2k & using
NTFS. Drivers load up fine & NIC initializes, however,
when the following line is executed:

"net logon <username> <password>"

get the following error:

"Error 2202: The user name or groupname parameter is
invalid"

Also, the local account does have full access. I've also
tried defining username as \\<computername\<username>.
Same result.

The "net logon" command is used to authenticate against a domain. Are you indeed trying to authenticate against a domain or
just access resources on a server? If you simply want to map a drive to the server use the "net use * \\server\share" command
instead.

Thank you,
