ok I tried changing the security policy and it isn't helping. I've discovered another error.
I created another share called vm-backup and I added the same user to access it as file-depo. I can access file-depo with no problems, but when I connect to vm-backup it prompts me for user name and password. I enter the same username and password as I did for file-depo and it gives me this error: \\172.16.0.2\vm-backup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Multiple connection to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

I then tried the "Net use * /delete." Cleared all my sessions and it was working again. I guess the first time I tried net use I didn't include *. I just did "net use /delete" which is invalid syntax.
