    Sharing a folder on a different domain


    I am trying to share a folder from (server 1) on (domain 1) to another computer linked to (server 2) on (domain 2). I have taken the following steps and can't get past the last one:
    Explorer
    Network
    (server 1)

    Here it won't show the files available to be shared on (server 1) until I put in a password. I have credentials to log in to that server to get access but I don't know how to type the username and password. I have tried username@domain (which worked on a windows xp) & just the username and password, but it doesn't allow me through. so my question is:

    How do you type the username and password when trying to share a folder on a different domain.

    Thanks in advance!

    From a computer on DOMAINONE\user would log into the other computer as DOMAINTWO\username. Username would be a user on DOMAINTWO that has access to the files you want to share.

    \\computername.domaintwo\sharename

    username: DOMAINTWO\username
    password: the specified users pass
