I have applied the registry patch to allow for clear text passwords, but I don't even get a logon prompt...it just refuses to connect... any other ideas?? Thanks, Bernie Courtney Z100 New York Engineering mailto:courtney@whtz.com Have you tried mapping the network drive via ip address? Make sure this new machine has the HOST file in the windows dir. Also, I remember something about needing to change the registry to allow clear passwords. Hope this helps...
