I want to map a XP Pro pc to a share I created on a 2003 server. When I go to
map the drive from my PC...it prompts me for a username and password. I try
to log into the share and it keeps saying bad username or password. I created
at least 2-3 test users to try this with and changed passwords but it still
wont except my logins...I am stumped! Please Help!!

Stand-alone or domain server?
If Domain server, is the XP machine a member of said domain?
If not, are you entering DOMAIN\username instead of just "username"?
If stand-alone, you are creating these users on the server and not the XP
machine, right?
If stand-alone, are you entering "SERVERNAME\username" instead of just
username?
Do the users have permissions not only to the share, but file/directory
permissions to the folder on the server as well?
