The difficutly I am having is this;
I have a clients system that at one time we could dial up and map the drive. Now the IT department has built a new server. I can dial up and access the system via VNC and can run the programs on the remote system. I have checked the rights and have privlidges to access the drive. Yet when I try and map the drive I get "Unknown user ir password"
Any suggetions would be very much appreciated.

I am confused if you are useing VNC then you should not need to map a drive, you are already at that system you should be able to access the folder from explorer.

Are you trying to say you could map the user's workstation to a share on the server? Since the server has been replaced, check to see if it is a unix server, as far as I know, mapping drives is a windows thing and will not work on unix.
Good luck!
