Hi Karl, Am able to access the folders on the problem server through windows explorer, (\\server3\Folder1). I tried couple of things with the credentials form, changing username, domain etc.. but I keep getting the same error "Couldn't connect to server: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password"
Can you tell me more about the -D switch you were talking of ? Thanks and Regards, Swapna.
