Thanks. You were right. I don't know how I missed that.

Now, I'm able to map the $c drive of one XP workstation that is joined
to a domain by using:

username="domainname\username"

But I'm not able to map any shares to an XP workstation that is just a
member of a workgroup. I've tried the following:

username="username"
username="computername\username"
username="username",workgroup="computername"

I get access denied from all of them.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Max
