run -> unc server name (just one particualar one) -> "extend

Guest

This will probably be resolved if I restart the computer (which I DON'T
want to do)...I'm curious why it'd happen, or how I could debug it
further. When I try to connect in the specified manner to this one
server I get the above error. This is the only server that this is
happening to. It's resolved correctly via nslookup, and I can ping it
from a command prompt. I can even browse to it through My Network
Places. Thanks.

Sorry I should have mentioned that my machine is a Server 2003 and the
other is at least windows 2000 server. They're both members of
different domains, but that shouldn't matter as the UNC pathway works
fine for other servers in the same domain as that machine. Also the
error, appears right away...no 30 second waiting

From a cmd window, is the server listed in the output of "net use"?

This is the output of "net use"...i know that it's in a virtual
computer but, that shouldn't hold it up because it's functioning
normally otherwise

New connections will be remembered.

oh ok, i got it...

I saw an event id 14 Kerberos warning in the event log. I didn't
really pay that much attention to it, because it didn't really pop up
when I typed the UNC name, and because the other servers in the domain
worked fine.

Apparently there's such a thing as a "Stored User Name and Passwords"
applet that lets you set up credentials for when you want to log onto
domains that you're not a member of".

I accessed it using

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

and sure enough there was an entry there for my misbehaving server. I
removed it and then it asked me for my credentials, as it was supposed
to have done.

It would have been a lot easier if they'd have said..."Oh, wrong
credentials" not "An extended error has occurred"...anyway..thanks
