Is the server a Qube2700WG or a Qube2?

Are the clients running Win9x or WinNT?

Are you using Network Logon?

If you are using Win9x and not Network Logon then the Username and Password
entered by the user when Win9x boots MUST match what is used on the Qube.

I have found that using the Network Logon feature on the Qube2 solves many
problems.

Also I have found that if the Admin changes a users quote it "corrupts" the
SAMBA password and the user MUST reset it via the GUI.

Cheers,  Malcolm
