you need to get a valid logon to the 200 box, or enable the guest password, but sometimes the 2k box still plays silly with outher machines, then your stuck /sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

Have you tried the \"net use\" command?  Very helpful in the domain enviroment.  I use Bart\'s MSClient (www.nu2.nu) boot disk to login to the domain and then map a drive to the distribution folder.  Works great.  His boot disk even asks during login if you would like to map a drive so you only need to use net use for extra drives.  Should work even cleaner in a workgroup I think.

example: net use Y: computernamesharename /user:domainorworkgroupusername password
