Check the capitalization of the user/id.  I've had the least grief by using
all caps for both on both machines.  AIR, OS/2 is case insensitive and
sends the id and password as caps regardless of how you set it up.

Password authentication from vista to ecomstation

I have a PC running windows vista ultimate and one running EComStation 2.0 
rc2.  When I use explorer to connect to my Maxtor drive connected to the 
EComStation machine I can see everything if I logon to Vista with and 
account that is not also on the EComStation machine.  I assume it is using 
the guest account with no password. But when I logon to the vista machine 
with an account that is also on the EComStation machine that has admin 
access I can not authenticate.  It just tells me check that your user name 
and password are correct. I am sure the user name and password are correct 
because I can use them to logon to the ecomstation machine to share files. 
Does anyone have any idea how to get the password authentication to work?
