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.
