Does anyone know if it is possible to map a network drive on a Win9x client to a Win2k server using a different username? I know you can do it with a Win2k client to a Win2k server.

Yep.
Say you want to map to \\WIN2KSVR\SHARE1 as user BOB. Also say that the user account is in the domain MYDOMAIN. The syntax from the command prompt would be as follows:

NET USE X: \\WIN2KSVR\SHARE1 /U:MYDOMAIN\BOB

When you hit Enter, you will be prompted to type in the password for BOB.

You can also do this from the Map Network Drive option, and fill in the Connect As box with MYDOMAIN\BOB

hope this helps
