username/password not valid

I am on a Win98 peer-to-peer network, connected through a
NetGear 8-port switch, using Off2K. Three of the four
machines can all connect to the mail server, and send and
receive mail. Regardless of the account settings that I
use, the fourth machine is never accepted by the mail
server. I have the authenication box checked, have
verified the username and password with the netadmin at
corporate, and he has changed it on the server side, and I
have made the same change on the account here locally on
the client. I have also used my username and password,
and that will not work from that one machine, no username
and password will. Constantly prompted to re-enter
account name and password. Hit OK, behavior continues.
Hit cancel and the error message basically states that the
mailbox doesn't exist, and I know that it does because I
can access it from another machine. This is not about
fati-fingering a password.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks both Roady and R. Funk

I have checked the network settings, and nothing seems to
be different from the other machines. I have uninstalled
and then re-installed Off2K, and have done the same with
client for ms networks just to see if there was something
along the lines that Roady was getting at, that was
kloojing things up. The issue is not that I am always
prompted for the password; both the account name and the
password populate the fields, and according to netadmin at
corp they are correct. the mail server just does not
recognize the mailbox, and so continuously re-prompts me
for the password. These are machines that I bought used
from a non-profit that had many users over the past
several years. Is there anything in the registry that I
can clean out that might erase some of the history of the
other mail servers that this machine was conntecting to?
I am reluctant to try what roady suggests because it is
not an issue of the password not-populating.

Again, any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Monticus
