I was at a client office trying to connect to a shared drive on their network but was greeted by a

"you do not have permission to access" error!

Couldn't find any way to enter the required credentials as this message didn't had any other options. Tried to map the drive, selected the option to enter the correct credentials (with \\HOST\user) but it wouldn't work at all. The worst thing in all of this is that my coworker who is using OS X has been able to connect to that drive without any problem, he clicked on it, entered the credentials and could open the folder!

The folder is shared by a Windows Small Business Server 2008 machine.
