map mac to windows server...

[lisat76]

i am a mac novice I was able to map one mac in our office to our windows server by going to the finder and going to connect to server, then it prompted me for a user name and password.
I did that and it worked fine.
I tried the exact thing on another mac and it would never prompt me for the user name or password it just kept saying i had the wrong one.
What do i need to do?
Thanks

Check to see if you are connecting using the right protocol, it should be SMB.

I am using smb
other suggestions?

Are you already connected to another share on the server? it sounds like the server knows about your macs user name \ machine name.

It might be worth checking on the server itself to see if the mac has a connection there already (locked files\shares etc).

The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

this is a brand new windows server this mac has never connected to it. the only thing i have done is tried to map a drive and I always get the username password problem

I've seen that Mac/Windows integration can sometimes be fussy about the case of the workgroup/domain name. Make sure you match it exactly.
