Hello,
I have several workstations, one of them running Windows 2000 Pro. Another machine has Windows XP installed.
On the Win2k Pro machine, I have a share, called "Network Import" and I want to be able to access it, i.e., map it from my XP machine and when I restart the XP machine have it automatically map the drive (i.e., drive F).
The drive maps just fine (I supply a username/password that is located both on the XP machine and the 2000 Pro machine, with the same username and password), however, when I restart my XP machine, I always get an error bubble at the taskbar, saying something along the lines of "Windows could not reconnect to network drive". When I go to My Computer and double-click on the 'disconnected' drive (the one that I couldn't connect to when starting up XP), it pops up a window asking me for a username/password, while saying "incorrect password or unknown username for: \\machinename\Network Import". If I type in the same user/password that i used when I originally mapped the drive, it works fine! Why it can't automatically map the drive using the same credentials I typed is beyond me... When I originally mapped the drive, I even tried using the "Connect as different username" selection and put in the same username/password that I always use to connect to that share.
Both machines are on the same workgroup, the username I am using to connect to the shared folder exists both on the XP machine and the 2000 Pro machine (with the same password). I don't know what else to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
