Hi again.

In system properties there is a button for a wizard for
network config, that one worked and gave me the right
configuration.

It seemes like I needed to have an account with the same
name on the laptop as the account I created on the
server, is that right?

Well, now I think I have a workaround that will work for
me.

Thanks for all help!!!

Regards,
/Marcus
