Don't connect as "User" but as "MYSERVER-NAME\User" that's it. Or if you have a domain name (seems not) .. User@mydomainname.com

I want to log in as "server Name\User" as you suggested, but it is not giving me the option to enter the user field myself. It only gives me the option to select which account to log into from what is listed on the left side of the screen. When I select an account, the user name is fixed and I can only enter the password.
Do you know of a way around it? Or do I have to create a domain just to get the option to enter the username for log on myself?
