Mapping network shares from servers on different domains on single pc (W2K)

[guandu]

I have several pc's running Windows 2000 on a network. Some of the users require to have several network shares mapped on their computers, however, some of these shares are not on my network's domain. One of the shares that they require sits on a server that belongs in a totally different domain than my network's domain. I can map it fine clicking on "connect using a different user name" entering the username and password for that particular domain. The problem lies when the user reboots his/her pc, it reverts back to the login credentials of my network's domain and does not hold the credentials of the other server's domain, thus not reconnecting the share from the server that does not reside in my network's domain. Any thoughts?

You need to select "reconnect at logon" when mapping the drive. However it will ask for a password to connect to that share everytime.

Otherwise you could create a trust between both domains.
