I am getting a Net ErrorMSG 129 complaining about multiple connections to a
server or shared resource by the same user using more than one user name.
Here is my scenario that works everytime in XP:

1) Map a drive using the following syntax: "net use * \\server\share1
/u:username *"
2) Enter the password when prompted.
3) Successfull maping.
4) Repeat 1) using \\server\share2 with the same username.
5) Enter the same password when prompted.
6) Failed System Error 1219

The interesting part is that if I use the syntax "net use * \\server\share1
/u:username password" it works everytime without error.

The other thing to note is that after I enter the password for that
useraccount the first time, I don't seem to have to enter for subsequent
mapings. It should be noted that this is done in a workgroup setting and not
a domain. Could Vista be creating some sort of hidden GUID to identify me to
the server and my attempt to map the second drive is creating a second,
conflicting GUID? If so, why does my plain-text password work?
 
I think you've hit the nail on the head. I believe that rather than
identifying the share name as unique it tries to identify the server name as
unique.

Just an unprofessional guess on my part but I've seen this behavior, too.
