My apologies and I will abide by the rules, however I do know some readers only post on certain forums, so I wanted a wide range of responses, since this is time sensitive. May I then re-post on WinNT/2K Networking please. And you could delete this if you want. Let me know at your convenience. Cheers, Jody

Hi Folks: A little background behind this.... I'm running Windows 2000 Professional, with Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird v1.0. There is absolutely no trace of IE on my system. I used IE Eradicator to rid of it. So I realize fully that I have an unsupported configuration. 8) Ever since, whenever I disable/enable a network adapter, it still shows the same status (it does not refresh the icons to reflect whether the card is indeed enabled or disabled....though it does do it's function, as I can verify in device manager.) Alternately, if I change the properties to display the systray icon whenever the network card is connected, it will not run it. (By that, I mean you won't see the two blinky-blink computers near the bottom-right hand corner of the screen.) So what important file would I have de-registered or deleted with IE Eradicator, to make my LAN adapter tools not work? Otherwise my system runs great....and faster too! Cheers, Jody

I hope you folks can help. I have posted a variation of this in other forums, but I have refined my understanding of the problem, so here goes...lol I have two PCs: a workstation running Windows 2000 Professional (SP4) connecting to a workgroup server running Windows NT 4.0 Server (no domain.) I log in as Jody on my workstation (with admin rights), and my server has a Jody account with admin rights. No problem. I can see the NT shares. But one share called "Zips" I only want to access that as a password protected share (similar to share access level in Win98). So I made a "Zips" user in NT and in 2000. I assigned the admin rights to Admin and Zips in NT, and gave full access to Zips in 2000. However I cannot make a logon box come up to attach to it. When I try to add access in 2000, it says: "This set of credentials conflicts with an existing set of credentials" What I would like to achieve is this: be logged in as Jody (stay logged in as Jody), click on a "forbidden" share, and be prompted for my uname/pwd credentials. Is that possible within my current configuration? In other words, attach to a share as another user from my login? I tried issuing a NET USE command to map as another user but I get an error "1219: The credentials you are using conflict with another set of credentials". I found out that this means that since I've already connected to Windows NT as another user, it won't let me connect as a second user simultaneously. Apparently Microsoft did this by design. The only way I can accomplish this apparently is using a NET USE command and referring to the IP addy of the Windows NT machine, rather than the machine name. But I'm using NetBEUI between the two machines, so that NT is not routable to the Internet, which is the way I want it to stay. So is there another option? Help??? LOL!

Well, that is what I'm attempting. However, I'm not provided a chance to log in. I tried issuing a NET USE command to map as another user but I get an error "1219: The credentials you are using conflict with another set of credentials".

Well it is feasible, and that's what I did do. Mind you, from my Win2K workstation, that would mean I have to log out of Jody, log in as an alternate user, and then access those files. What I would like to achieve is this: be logged in as Jody (stay logged in as Jody), click on a "forbidden" share, and be prompted for my uname/pwd credentials. Is that possible within my current configuration? In other words, attach to a share as another user from my login? Cheers, Jody Thornton

Any ideas? Cheers, Jody Thornton
