Unable to map a resource from a server

Whenever I bootup a computer with a network boot floppy, I can't map a resource from a server using a domain account.
I can, however, map a resource from my computer using a local account.

For example:
Failing process->
I boot a computer with network boot floppy->
net logon
username: domainuser
password: whateverpassword
net use x: \\fileserver\path

I receive:
The password is incorrect, please re-enter

Working process->
I boot a computer with network boot floppy->
net logon
username: administrator
password: whateverpassword
net use x: \\myothercomputer\path

I receive a succesful mapping.

My true password length is 9 characters with special characters.

Why does the domain user fail to authenticate for the map, but local user authenticates fine?
I know it's trying, because my account gets locked if I try to re-enter my password few times wrong

When logging in with the domain account, try adding the domain name to the front... domain\domainuser
... I don't really think it's your problem but it's the only idea I got.

I've seen similar problems when using special alt characters. For example, when logging into W2K Japanese language edition I can't use certain alt chars. which normally work on W2K English.

I've tried using domain\username , doesn't work

I know some other people can login to domain no problem using the same boot floppy.

I just don't understand why I can, with the same password, logon to local account but not to a domain one.

Are there some password restrictions?

muno,

Read through this thread, I think it may help you out:

http://www.techimo.com/forum/showthr...hlight=net+use

I believe you need to tack on the usename and password to the NET USE command.

NET USE L: \\servername\ /user:domain\username password

If that link above doesn't work, try this one:

//edit: And you edited your post as I did mine.
That doesn't work either, I've tried every possible combination of net use, but none work.
