I'm also seeing this while attempting to set up my environment between a Win2K server and Solaris9 system. I'm able to connect to the unix server from "My Network Neighborhood" and even see the icon for my home dir. However when I attempt to open it I'm prompted for an id/password and it does not accept my valid entry. I suspect it isn't authenticating me in the right place so defaults to the "nobody" username. Any suggestions? DaveC
