XP: Loging into NT as a different user.

F

First Man

Hi buddies

I have an issue for logging in/out of the network for which expert
advice is needed.

I am using Windows XP in a LAN of about 15 clients (XP/98) and a
server running NT 4. All the clients are configured as workgroup.

When accessing data on the NT Server, it prompts for username and
password, which is ok. However, I want to logout and then login as a
different user. I can do so only if I logout of XP. Is there any way
that I could login to the NT resources as a different user, without
logging out of Windows XP? Thank in advance.

Cheers.

Well, I have a solution for you if you like to use the command line. You can
type in the command line as "net use \\<server name>\<share> /d" or if you
have created a mapped drive "net use <DriveLetter> /d".
Type "net use" and see if you have any other connection open to the server,
and if there are any do the same.
once this is done type "net use \\<server name>\IPC$ /d".
Once the commands are executed try to connect to the server again and it
should ask for the logon name and password again.

Hope this helps

You can set a user-id and psw on the NT server and give it pemissions to
access the directories/files as needed.

Then when you're prompted to login from the XP machine, you give that NT
user-id and psw. You can still remain logged into the XP machine with the
original user-id and psw you used to log into the machine.

You can also use the Autenticated User Account on the NT Server too in a
WorkGroup p2p setup. You can search Google or dogpile.com for more info on
how to(s) setup a Autenticated User Account on shared files and
directories.

You can pull that *crack* pipe out your ass K-Crack and stop smoking it like
that. You have been smoking it on the wrong end - K-Stupid.

Didn't you read the crack pipe user manual? You call yourself the sharpest
Top-**** on the Internet?

Hey, don't wash the pipe off savor the moment and slobber on it then you can
really go off the deep-end in the NG(s). ;-)
