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

I am working with a Windows 7 computer named estrellita, which is not joined to a domain. Sharing is enabled for a particular folder, statistica. If I type net use z: \\estrellita\statistica on the command line, the command works just fine. However, if I try net use z: \\estrellita.einstein.yu.edu\statistica, I get prompted for a username and password, which I type and get System error 86 has occurred.The specified network password is not correct instead. The password is definitely correct. I even tried another account on the system. Any ideas why this might be happening? It had been working at one point, and now it's not.
