Just recently I encountered this behavior with a single WinNT workstation.
It seems the problem started when the user's password on the ASIP server
didn't match that used during the WinNT's login to an NT domain. From that
point forward WinNT keeps trying to re-use the original password. Numerous
other WinNT and Win 95/98 workstations have no difficulty.

The first effective suggestion I received via the ASIP mailing list required
disabling the Windows Filesharing option in the "Guest" account on ASIP.
This worked but denied our ability to use guest access from PCs.

Through trial and error I found that if we use "Map Network Drive" for the
desired ASIP share from a Windows Explorer window, the proper authentication
is used. The user who had this problem has now checked the "Reconnect at
login" option and we'll see tomorrow if this works without daily user
intervention henceforth.

Hope this helps.
