I have a Synology RAID that publishes some windows shares on my network.

On some machines running XP i am unable to log into these shares. - Connect Network resource with different User/Pwd shows the logon dialog again and again. - Entering a UNC Path in a open fil dialog results in a "access denied" message, whereas on other machines a logon dialog is shown and can be uses successfully at this point.

NET USE <drive> \\<path>

succeeds, but when i try to access the volume access is denied

NET USE <drive> <pwd> \\<path> /user:<user>

is the only way that works

The NAS and its shares are shown in the explorer, but there double clicking on them only shows a "access denied" dialog. From other machines a logon dialog is shown and works.

Why does windows show a Logon dialog on one machine, but does not on another?
