I've been going thru network neighborhood/windows exploder.  The share is 
shown, but when I attempt select the share (HD3), I'm met with the following 
error dialog:

\\tpt41\HD3 is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this 
network resource.  Contact the administrator...

Access is denied.

I would expect to at least get a user/password dialog before the error 
message.
