I have a server box running win 2000 server, and 4 PC's that run Win XP Home
that connect to a shared folder on that server.
3 of the PC's connect fine, with their drive mapping reconnecting properly
each time they are started-up. The 4th however, refuses to reconnect to the
mapped drive. I am always presented with the bubble message upon login. If I
open My Computer and click on the drive, the password entry box appears and I
can press OK and it will connect the drive.
As far as I can tell, the only difference between this PC and the other 3,
is that the 4th PC does have a Windows user password that the user logs in
with. The other 3 are not password protected. I tried adding a password
(different from the regular users password) to the users-list on the server,
and using the "login using a different name and password" when mapping the
drive, but still no luck. Does the user password on the server have to match
the client "windows" password?
Any suggestions to get this working would be greatly appreciated, and I will
provide more information if needed. Thanks.
