that is a separate issue and you need to take that one up with Microsoft
as it is Microsoft's networking protocols that apparently does not allow
a user to connect to the same server with different user
accounts...UNLESS, you use security = share, which provides a Windows 98
type experience where each share is separately authenticated but that is
such an ugly thing to do, and I never do that.
