Default Vista to Windows 2000 network share connection troubles

Hi,

I have a Windows 200 machine that has a network share (Reports).

I have a Vista machine that accesses this network share. Vista had
been playing very nicely with that share until Monday morning, when I
came in Monday morning now this share cannot be accessed by Vista I
keep getting invalid password prompts.

The password has not changed, nothing has changed on the Windows 2000
machine, and we have not installed anything on the Vista machine. I
can access it fine from other Vista machines, or other XP & 2000
machines.

Can anyone provide info as to why I can't access my share anymore?? I
have a program that depends on getting information through the share
and of course now that program croaks everytime you start it.

Thanks,
-David

Perhaps you need to re-cache the credentials. Try this command: net use
\\w2000servername /u:username password. Please post back with the result.
