Hi
I can sure try again, but we tried to connect as an existing user (for
example, Kathy). It rejected the user name/password. This is true although
Kathy has been setup as a valid user account on all of our 2000 systems with
never expiring password for about 4 years. We really don't need security on
the lan, but W2k..... Anyway, we tried to connect using each of the
existing accounts on this system, but none worked. Then we created a new
user account on the problem W2K sys and we could not get it work from the
Vista system either.
The funny thing is we can access the shares on the other W2K systems from
the vista machine, without any problems. There is something a little
different about the 2000 installation on this particular machine that Vista
doesn't like. I will try re-creating the account on the 2000 sys.
Thanks
Jim
