Whem you attempt to connect to a W95 share from any flavor of Windows NT, you receive an Access Denied error message under the following conditions:

- The share uses user-level security and the security provider is a Windows NT domain.

- You are using UNC convention (\servernamesharename) instead of mapping a drive letter to the share.

- Windows NT is at SP2 or greater.
