How do I logout of a network share? Like changing which user is logged into
the network share? If I access the network share as a guest I have limited
access but I have no direct way to logout of that network share and log back
in with a user account who has more permissions.
 
You can right click on the mapping and select disconnect. Then map it using
another user who may have more permissions. Or you may create a batch file
with net sue /d command to disconnect the mapping and use net use to re-map
it.

Are you referring to mapping as in drive-mapping? Because none of the
information provided seems to apply to my situation. Here's the skinny, I
open the network and it shows all of the devices on my network including my
NFS. I access my NFS via the guest account which has read-only access but I
cannot logout from guest.

When I restarted the machine today I tried to login with a different account
and it fails. I think that either I do not have VISTA setup correctly or it
has a bug when it comes to accessing the NFS. I know I am using the correct
username and password combination because it works fine under XP.

One last thing, according to CMD there is no net sue /d command it gives me
a syntax error
 
sorry, it is net use command. Sounds like permission issue. You may want to
create the same username on the remote computer or this link may help.

Vista Permission IssuesCan I assume the external drive used to be connecting
to other computer and you just re-connect it the the Vista? Check the
permission using this command: . ...

Thanks for the information, unfortunately I still haven't cracked it. Some
other points of interest:

• I am able to access network shares on my other computer just not on the NFS.

• I am not able to access the NFS internal settings but I can access my
Wireless Router's settings. (I've even tried connecting the vista box
directly to the NFS via ethernet cable.)

• I am able to ftp into the NFS and it authenticates fine that way.

• net use prompts me for username / password and then fails even with valid
credentials. Works with guest account. Seems to be an authentication issue
because guest account doesn't have a password.
