Vista - Reconnect Shared Resource

01-14-2008

Hi,
I have a home network. If I connect to a network drive, not mapped just
browse the network and view the drive, then I change the password on the
host machine, is there a simple way to reconnect to the shared drive from my
second (client) PC? It seems once I enter the password on the share, I can't
change it without rebooting. I thought I could use a net use command from
the command line but can't seem to find what I need to do. Thanks.

Regards-Michael G.

I am not sure I understand the issue. I guess you may need to use net use
*/d and net use \\remotehost \u:username to re-cache the credentials.
