Well, I'm not really sure what to look for either, but let's start with the environment. When you ssh into your XP32 machine and do set | grep USER what do you see? I see ALLUSERSPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' USER=dave USERDOMAIN='NT AUTHORITY' USERNAME=SYSTEM USERPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\dave' So it appears XP thinks I"m the local system user. From what I've read, the local system user doesn't have permission to "net use" anything. A cygwin shell launched directly under XP32 reports: ALLUSERSPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' USER=dave USERDOMAIN=HYDRA-XP USERNAME=dave USERPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\dave' -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
