This is a Windows bug (introduced in Windows 2000 SP4). I spent several days working on it. Doesn't work between Win2k/XP and NT4 either. Use you Samba box as a DC and it will be fine. ==== Actually, this is not a bug but a security measure I do believe. Win2k and WinXP will not connect to the same server multiple time using different user logon information (actually, sorta pointless if you set up permissions right). Thus, if John Doe is logged in and Jane wants to reach personal information in her home drive, then A) John Doe has to log out or B) disconnect all drives to the server with the home shares on them, then map her drive. Also to note, If you map a network drive with windows with one username/password pair -- it will also use that as the default username/password pair for that server for any other mapped drives. Though, not testing, I wonder if linux is under the same restrains? Heh.
