Ever got this problem while mapping a network drive:
The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password.To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.
And when you see your network mappings, strangely the drive is not mapped :(
Well, the solution is old reliable DOS commands. here it goes:
> net use
> net use \\SharedDrive /delete
net use command displays a list of all mapped drive. there will be a IPC$ mapping for the drive you want to connect to. Just delete the sharing and then you will be able to connect to the server.
FYI: The Inter-Process Communication (IPC) share or ipc$ is a network share on computers running Microsoft Windows. This share is used to facilitate communication between processes and computers, often to exchange authentication data between computers.

These are my random thoughts, learnings and code shares. Idea is to use it as a repository and FAQ and diary and ... :)
