Problem : I have a Win2k Pro laptop which I use both at work and at home. At work I belong to a domain and our server runs Win 2k server. At home I have win2k3 machine. This machine contains shared folders and printer which I want to access from my work laptop. But when I try to access win2k3 machine using \\MyWin2k3\MysharedFolder then it gives me the following error: "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request" Solution : try to use net use command as shown below Assuming that you want to connect to a win2k3 machine (Machine name is DHANA) as Administrator then you can run the following command Example: Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\IPC$ /u:Dhana\Administrator Example: Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\C$ /u:Dhana\Administrator Example: Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\mysharedfolder /u:Dhana\Administrator or if you want to hardcode the password in command then use the following syntax Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\IPC$ mypassword /u:Dhana\Administrator And to remove the connection made to the remote machine Example: Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\IPC$ /DELETE Example: Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\C$ /DELETE Example: Click here to copy the following block net use \\Dhana\Mysharedfolder /DELETE You can wrap this command in a batch file so you dont have to type everytime.
