This has been a (deliberate) limitation in Windows for quite a while. The OS designers didn't expect anyone would have a legitimate reason to connect to the same server with different authentication credentials. Whether this was a good design idea or not is debatable, but the end result is not: you can't do that. I suppose you could play games with your hosts file on the Windows system. Creating many host names, all with the same IP address would probably get around the issue.

My Win2K system is as up to date as I can make it -- I can't find any outstanding updates to be applied. I found a couple of user group posts of other folks havin the same problem: it seems to be strictly NT and 2000. Seems screwy to me. Thanks, Jon <snip> The only time I have seen this is when I tried to access network shares and used different userids and passwords. If you're not doing that, then I would make sure your Win2K system is completely up to date, or try a Windows XP system. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
