still no luck on getting this going on my win2K server. I did notice
the / for the user name and password. I tried the admin account and
password that is used to log on to the box but no joy. Also tried
the localsystem for the account still no joy. If any one has been
successful in making this play on win2K server please post the steps
to do so.
Thanks
