Hi,

Sorry about the confusion. Let me clarify my problem.
I have created share folders on a Win2000 DC. When i signon to a WinXP and
Win2000 ws, I have no problem map to the share folders. However, when i
signon (using the same login name) on a WinNT ws, I cant browse the Win2000
DC and its share folders. I got an Access Denied message when i double click
on the Win2000 DC server name. On that same WinNT station (i am using the
same login name on all ws) I have no problem map to Win2003 DC and another
Win2000 DC.

Thanks for your help.
