Well, then I must not have done a very good job describing it because
I agree with your description, too, and I thought that was what I tried
to say.

I tried to make the point that you needed an account on both the
client machine and the SERVER.

Obviously you must have an account on the client or you couldn't
be trying to connect from there.  I tried to make the point that
you also needed an account on the SERVER, but that it didn't *have*
to be the same username/password (that's why I used my housekeeper
in the example).  The original poster was under the impression that
there was some sort of network account or password that she/he needed
to use.

I'll try to be more clear in the future.
