Hey...getting frustrated...thought I would post here...lots of experts.

Whenever I map file shares from my PC, to my mediasmart server, next time I reboot my pc, they are all disconnected, even though I have asked them to be reconnected at startup.  So that's the first issue that lead to the second.

Normally, to reconnect the shares, I have to simply "disconnect" and then remap them again.  But today, all of sudden, I am getting a different error when I connect, stating:

"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:
the referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to."

So, I jump on the Console and check "Shared Folders".  I see all the standard shares (photos, software, etc), as well as the user shares I have created for different family members.  In the case above, I have tried connecting to my Public, Software, Photos, and Music shares, and that that same error.

My next step, I try right clicking on the Shared Folders individually, (from inside Console still) and choose "open".  I am not even able to open them from the Console!  Access Denied.  HOw can access be denied to the Public/shared folders from the Console itself?

I am basically locked out of all my photos, music, everything.  Anyone ever see this before?  About ready to buy a real server....(he said in total frustration)
