For the life of me, I cannot remember how to logout of the network share and login back. It's not a mapped drive, it's a network share. So, I'd access by typing its UNC like \\pri.vate.IP.address i can get in the drive with no problems. THE problem is I need to relogin using a different username and password to access different files that don't appear with the current username and password. Again, i can't remember the process. I remember I went to the command line, typed netstat to see the current connections listening, and deleted them somehow, so that when I access the a UNC which requires authentication, it'll request that I type in a username and password.

the jist of it is I want to relogin to the network share with a different login name and password.

thank you.

once you connect, it establishes a connection.

Open a command prompt and type NET USE <enter>
You'll see the connections made already, and I guarantee one of them is this network share.

To get rid of it, type NET USE /D \\pri.vate.IP.address\share (or whatever is listed after net use) and press enter

Try to connect again and it should prompt you.

This is all contingent upon whether the account you're using on the connecting computer will not authenticate on the computer with which you're trying to connect.
