System error 86 has occurred

Hi,

we used to connect to a shared folder on the Mac Pro from Windows 7 with a batch script.
This worked fine for some time, but now I very often get the message:

*System error 86 has occurred*
*The specified network password is not correct*

Sometimes it works, which confirms that the password can't be incorrect.
It also cannot be mistyped, as it is entered in the script. The batch file on Windows looks like this:

+C:\Users\hugo>net use w: \\macpro\DATA passwort /USER:macpro\hugo /PERSISTENT:NO+

Where is the problem, if a wrong password is not the reason?

Many thanks in advance!
