Thanks Chuck, that seemed to solve one problem, but created another! = )

After doing as you advised, I then created 2 new shares to add to the 2
already created originally. I accessed the network computer and was not
prompted to login. The 2 original shares were able to be accessed. The 2 new
shares were visible, but after clicking them, I received a 'permission
denied' error.

I then used another computer to access the network, and this one had never
accessed the network before I had made the change. This time, after clicking
the machine to connect, I was prompted to login (just like under Win2K).
After logging in, all 4 shares were accessible, no permission denied errors
at all.

I have re-booted all machines several times, but I cannot 'force' the first
machine to login. Everytime I access the network machine, I'm just allowed in
with no login prompt, and only allowed access to the 2 original shares. Any
idea on how I can reset this so I'm required to login...?
