Linux

I am trying to open a directory on our Linux server from vb.net using process.start. The code works fine on all the Windows boxes but when trying to open the Linux share an exception is thrown: Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password.

I've tried everything I could think of and Googled till my eyes were buldging and bloodshot. What am I missing?

Here is my code:

Private Sub btnOpenLinuxDir_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnOpenLinuxDir.Click

        Dim password As New SecureString
        Dim pwd As String = "password"
        For Each c As Char In pwd
            password.AppendChar(c)
        Next

        Dim open As New ProcessStartInfo
        open.Domain = "servername"
        open.UserName = "user"
        open.Password = password
        open.FileName = "explorer.exe"
        open.StartInfo.Arguments = "@\\Linuxserver\C\usr\directory"
        open.UseShellExecute = False
        Process.Start(open)       
    End Sub
