Hi, 
 
I have a Netware Server which has NFAP setup and Simple Passwords assigned to user accounts. 
Previously I have been able to connect to the Netware server by using the net use command on any windows XP machine. Recently, I have installed vista and find that I am unable to connect the mapped network drive any longer. I am typing the following in the command prompt of the vista machine: 
 
net use z: \\servername\sys 
 
I am now prompted to enter my username and password. 
 
I get the following error.: 
 
System error 86 has occurred. 
The specified network password is not correct. 
 
I know the password is correct because I have tested it on a XP machine. 
 
Does anyone know why this might be occuring? 
 
Thanks

Mapping drives from Vista to Netware - Using NFAP and Simple Passwords.

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) network protocol. It is hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. Products inclue NetWare Directory Services (NDS), a global directory service similar to Microsoft's Active Directory; GroupWise, an email system; ZENworks, an application configuration suite; and BorderManager, a security product. Open Enterprise Server, the current iteration, runs on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
