| | Logon Username & Password Fails on At Work Network I am trying to connect Vista Ultimate based Laptop to my at work network (A Server -W2K along with broadband internet connection, that uses routers and ethernet cables). I use map network. I use a server name & I am asked for user name & p/wd. (I believe my server name is correct -because when I deliberately use a different server name, I do not reach the dialogue box asking for user name & p/wd). I enter my only administrative privileged username along with the password assosiated with the user name. Two things happen: System modifies my user name to incorporate my computer name (what I feel is normal). I get a message 'Incorrect Username &/or Password'. I pinged the server. It works with 0% loss. I tracert my servername & server address. It works. NSLOOKUP rezults are ok. DNS Client (in services) is set to Started & Automatic. Thank you for helping me connect my laptop with at work network. (I hv access to network adminstration level -however any changes on server W2K would be tricky for that the network is busy all the time) The other 4-5 desktops on network use XP. |

| | Re: Logon Username & Password Fails on At Work Network Try this command: net use H: \\servername\sharedname /u:domainname\username (note: replace servername, sharedname, domainname and username with all real names). If that doesn't work, it should give you a system error. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Himanshu" <Himanshu@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0C8F7E84-524D-4A34-AC30-56D4E20620D0@xxxxxx Quote: >I am trying to connect Vista Ultimate based Laptop to my at work network (A > Server -W2K along with broadband internet connection, that uses routers > and > ethernet cables). > > I use map network.
