Only time I heard about that is if you are in separate domains and you don't
have trusts and you are
using the Named Pipes netlib, which depends on the IPC$ share). I don't know
if this is still the
case, but in any case moving to the IP netlib should remove that need.

if so see Jens' reply.
Or if you refer to a Gust Windows account, if so, see my reply.
