Right -- sounds like some kind of issue with the user in question
with respect to the file server.
Must be due to the way the render accounts are both setup - having a
different password locally, to what has been set for that user on the
netapp filer. I guess I will have to change them so that they both match.
Yes, that is how authentication is achieved; both server and client
must agree on the same user/password combo.
Otherwise a bad guy could make the same account name on a rogue
notebook computer and gain access to the server. As designed,
the idea is they can't access the server without the matching password.
Having differing passwords works fine with Windows XP, so it must just
be a Win2K specific "feature".
I guess I'd be surprised if that were the case, given the above
scenario; I don't see how security could be preserved with only
a username. My guess is its failing over to guest access in that case.
One thing you might check: make sure the XP is configured with the same
WORKGROUP as the other machines.
