It has confused me on a number of occasions now. e.g. if I user doesn't have access to the share, Windows Explorer will pop up a dialog box asking for a name and password - the user enters a name and password of somebody who does have access, and it still doesn't work. The user gets the impression they got the name/password wrong, when in fact the issue is having two different users on the one server. > My solution to this problem was simple: > I defined another server alias called 'software'.

Thanks for the suggestion - not sure it will help this particular issue, but it is useful knowing how to get around the limitations in Windows all the same. Brian May |
