I'm working in a company right now, everybody (mainly xp and osx) connecting to a server running osx. There's a standart guest name and password anybody can use, wich works without problems on all xp and osx computers but when i log on i recieve: Logon Unsuccessful couldn't logon, be sure passwords and username are correct.. (though they are, of course, correct) Strange though: i log on with "guest", once the prompt comes the name is quoted "myComputer\guest". (myComputer standing for my ocmputer) Shouldn't it be the Domain/guest? I am connected to the domain (it seems) - can see all computers on it (it seems!) and can connect to the internet. I've tried both wireless and LAN with equal failure.. Many thanks for any help, Danny

Hello Joson ZhouI had the same problem with log on a local network. I am using Vista Hom premium, another computer using Windows 2000 (Print, scan... computer). In the Network i can see all the computers, but when i logon the computer using Windows 2000 OS, the following error always appear; Longon Unsuccessful Window is unable to log you on. Be sure that your user name and password are correct.From computer using Windows 2000 OS, i can access my Vista computer. Could you help me to fix this? Thank you.Thanh-Long Phan

Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

The Solution is to type the acctuall domain/"username" (without quotes) so if my mac is names wootMac and it has a share login of shareingWow then type in wootMac/shareingWow into the login name and in pass write the pass. For some reason the login doesn't like to atomatically put in the domain... Quite annoning... If your just connecting to an ip substitute the domain with the ip ie: 10.1.10.59/"username" (without quotes). ~Luck all
