All,

I have 2 domains that do not trust each other, nor will
they ever. 1 is W2k and the other NT. I have a box setup
on both networks to act as a universal file server. I have
both domains seeing this new box and talking well. I am
tring to use a mapped drive to the universal file server,
and it works. But when i log off and then back on, I am
prompted for a password to connect the mapped drive. I
have it setup to connect as a local account on the file
server, that has no password. I am still being prompted at
logon to enter a password. If i just hit enter, then the
connection is made. Is there a way around this since the
password is blank? I have tried the registry where the
mapped drive is located, but i have had no luck.

TIA for the help.

the best way to do is using cached credentials. So, you may want to create
the same logon id and password on the both sides.
