It is easier       for the operator to remember, at login time.              While there is a tick box for a password-less share, there       are sufficient reports about not being able to log in, that       the option likely isn't a good idea.              The "bullwinkle" account (which I use for Linux installs),       is also my common account for File Sharing.              Since the error at the moment, is one of Network Path Not Found,       I don't think it is getting tested on credentials just yet. First       it has to connect, before it can be rejected on credentials :-)               Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
