In Windows Explorer, right click on the shared directory and look at Properties->Sharing->Permissions. Make sure that 'jnatola' has an account on that machine and that this account is permitted access to that share. If that's all waorking, my guess would be you have the wrong password. If you can, try accessing the share from another Windows machine to make sure the share is working properly. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
