This sounds like a windows problem --

[warning: this is based on knowledge of NT4/W2KPro -- I don't know how valid
it is on 95/ME/...]

If someone else is logged in to the machine interactively, the shares that
that user has will be unavaliable to you -- you must map that drive manually
with the "net use" command --

i.e. from Bash,
$ net use z: \\\\scooby\homes

(net use doen't grok the //server/share format for UNC paths)

It seems that if the (GUI) interactive user (on the machine you are logged
into) has a share assigned to a device, you can't connect a different share
to that device (you can't connect q: to \\server2\share if a connection is
already made on Q: to \\server1\share) 

I'm not sure if you can connect to the same share on the in-use device,
though.


HTH,
Chris
