In a workgroup environment, My windows 2000 client cannot connect to the share directory of the Windows 2000 server . &nbsp; When I double-click the share folder, it prompts &quot;access is denied&quot;.<br />
<br />
I figure it is probably because the client computer is connecting as the client-user@client-compute<wbr />r. &nbsp;How do you make the client to connect as server-user@server_compute<wbr />r instead? &nbsp;There is no prompt for login and password but an immediate prompt of &quot;Access is Denied.&quot; <br />
<br />
I have tried to map the drive and user using a different user name and password(which are the server's), the result is OK. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Under XP, I solved this problem by adding an entry under &quot;control Panel&quot; -&gt; &quot;Users&quot; -&gt; &quot;Manage My Passwords&quot;<br />

Your help is really appreciated,<br />

Access is Denied.  I cannot logon to a Windows 2000 Server in a Workgroup

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
