I have a NAS device, it has 3 shares. On one computer I have access to all 3 of the shares. On another computer I keep getting this error when try and add a 2nd one.

The Network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password [...]

That is the message I keep getting. What causes that?

EDIT: Every share has it's own username and password.

EDIT: NET USE on the one running 3 from the same NAS device

New connections will be remembered.
