Have you tried establishing the drive letter via the command-line with
the NET USE utility. It's not as comfortable and graphical and
eye-pleasing, but it gives you more information when it fails.


I completely concur with Scott's suggestion to try this at the command
line. MUCH better detail on what's happening. For issues with file shares
in Win2000 and up (even CE/ME/NT) you really need to learn two commands:

NET

and

NBTSTAT

NET gives you the ability to Map drives, unmap drives, display available
shares locally and on servers assign a different user or password for the
share etc. NET HELP will get you started.

NBTSTAT shows even more detail and allows refreshing the name cache and
all the information that WinDOHs knows about the current connection.
NBTSTAT HELP will get you started there as well.

Good Luck

- Larry

PS: Smells like the user's windoze password doesn't match to the i or
they've been disabled for netserver access.
