Drive Mapping Problems

I am using Win2K and I have mapped (and told to automatically remap on login) two drives that refuse to remember the password. I believe the problem is this, my current login username, and the username for these two fussy drives is the same, yet the passwords to all three are different. Can Win2K only store one password per username? The machines I am mapping to are a Win98 machine and one Linux Redhat 6.2 server.

I had a similiar problem with W2k connecting to my Linux 6.2 machine which I am using as a router. Once I created a new user account matching the one I created on my linux machine and logged on to W2k with it, the problem was solved. I will follow up on your question can W2k use multiply passwords for a user. My instructor trained the Microsoft engineers for 5 years. Maybe he will know. Plug and Pray. glenjno@yahoo.com
