Maybe you are thinking QNTC, but really talking about netserver, which
is a little different. If you are trying to access information on the i
from the windows file explorer, that's netserver. It uses the windows
network credentials by default to connect to the i, so it's easier if
the user name and password match exactly. You must have shares set up on
the i. Windows will pop up a login dialog if it can't authenticate.

QNTC is a file system off the IFS root, that you can access once you're
logged in to the green screen. I usually use QSH to get there. It makes
windows files available to programs on the i. You might have a
permissions issue on the i, and it might also be a permissions issue on
the windows server. The i will pass your credentials (from the i) to the
windows server when it attempts to authenticate, and the user name and
password must match. You could swap profiles on the i, but that's
probably not useful for an interactive user. Each windows server has a
mount point (directory) named the same as the windows host. It's a big
help if the windows box is in the same domain as the i. Server host and
share names are restricted in length. Sorry, I don't remember what the
limits are, but they're absolute. I've found that information via Google
in the past, but it took some digging.

I hope that helps point you in the right general direction.
