Credentials Issue (NT vs. 2000)
I hope you folks can help. I have posted a variation of this in other forums, but I have refined my understanding of the problem, so here goes. . . lol I have two PCs: a workstation running Windows 2000 Professional (SP4) connecting to a workgroup server running Windows NT 4.

I have two PCs: a workstation running Windows 2000 Professional (SP4) connecting to a workgroup server running Windows NT 4.0 Server (no domain.) I log in as Jody on my workstation (with admin rights), and my server has a Jody account with admin rights. No problem. I can see the NT shares.
But one share called "Zips" I only want to access that as a password protected share (similar to share access level in Win98). So I made a "Zips" user in NT and in 2000. I assigned the admin rights to Admin and Zips in NT, and gave full access to Zips in 2000. However I cannot make a logon box come up to attach to it. When I try to add access in 2000, it says:
"This set of credentials conflicts with an existing set of credentials"
What I would like to achieve is this: be logged in as Jody (stay logged in as Jody), click on a "forbidden" share, and be prompted for my uname/pwd credentials. Is that possible within my current configuration? In other words, attach to a share as another user from my login?
I tried issuing a NET USE command to map as another user but I get an error "1219: The credentials you are using conflict with another set of credentials". I found out that this means that since I've already connected to Windows NT as another user, it won't let me connect as a second user simultaneously. Apparently Microsoft did this by design.
The only way I can accomplish this apparently is using a NET USE command and referring to the IP addy of the Windows NT machine, rather than the machine name. But I'm using NetBEUI between the two machines, so that NT is not routable to the Internet, which is the way I want it to stay.
So is there another option? Help??? LOL!

Not by double clicking, by default, it will use the current login id to connect to the share. If you machine was in a different domain or workgroup, then it might prompt for a login id. Otherwise you have to either use:
a) Net use command and use the /USER parameter.
Right click My Network Places, and select Map Network Drive and enter path and select 'Connect with a different user name'.
