I have created a shared folder on my windows 2000 machine, but I can't see
them over the network from my mac. Doing the connect to server
"smb://ipaddress/sharename" doesn't work, it says that it "could not
connect to server because the username or password is incorrect" even
though it never prompted me for them. File and printer sharing is turned
on on the 2000 machine. They both have the same workgroup name and unique
host names. I don't know what else to do... Any thoughts??

Thanks,
Sancho
