For various reasons, I need to be able to access my computer (and unc
shares) from two different domains.
For example, my computer is computername.mydomain.com (mydomain.com is our
internal domain where my username and password are controlled by the
Windows2003 Server domain controller). I also need to be able to get to it
through computerdoman.otherdomain.com (otherdomain is what our servers are
known as to the outside world: there is no real domain called
otherdomain.com, it's just aliased through the domain controller).
My problem: when I try to access \\computername.otherdomain.com\wwwroot$
from the computername computer, it does not work. I get an error that says:
"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.". The weird thing is
that I can go to \\computername.otherdomain.com\wwwroot$ from ANY OTHER
computer on the network with no problem. Just won't work from the same
machine. Oh, I can get to \\computername.mydomain.com\wwwroot$ without
trouble.
computername.mydomain.com is a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine with all the
latest security updates and patches applied.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Owen
