In my particular case I use
net use \\ip-address\share-name password /user:username
or simply 
net use \\ip-address\share-name 
in the case if username and password are the same.

In that way you can connect to an arbitratry compuetrs
any number of times (well, number of drive letters) 
simultaneously under different names.

In NT by default files on a remote computer are ownerd under a user name you use to connect to the remote system. So it is just opposite to NFS and IMO this is the only reasonable behavior in NT world.
