There has to be a user on th emachine you are trying to connect to that mirrors the user that exists on the machine you are connecting from.

i.e.

PC1(WinME) has USER_A
2000 Server, must also have a USER_A, with access rights to the shared resources so PC1(WinME) can connect.

Password for USER_A on PC1(WinME) must be the same to that of USER_A on Win2000 server.

----------------------------------
Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
