Loay,

Dimitris solved his problem by enabling Kerberos but I do not fully
understand why this solves the problem as in my humble opinion NTLM should
have worked as well, or not?

Windows 2000 introduced Kerberos enabling in Network names with SP3... do
you mean that the solution from Dimitris could not work until that date?

I wold appreciate an explanation so I/we could learn from it...thanks...
