What user name did you use when you 'logged in' to windows? Windows will try 
that username against any password you enter. So from the looks of it, 
log on using the username 'jlmiller' or 'leanne' and type in the password
for your 
rasdata share. 

Windows NT doesn't have this problem and will prompt for both a username and a
password - strange.

Gavin.
