Hi Syntax should be net use \serverip\sharedfoldername password /USER:yourusername You should have shared the server folder for everyone or for yourusername. check these.

thanks for the reply Mr. Jaganathan. I don't have a domain .. I gave the IP Address instead of the domain.. I get the same error Unknown User or Bad Password..
