Windows doesn't support that.

Your options are:

1. Use the machine account
2. Use the user/password typed into the login box

That's it - that's all windows supports.

As for configuring it - right-click on the network adapter settings, 
select the "authentication" tab, click the "additional settings" button. 
The options should be self explanatory. If not, consult the microsoft docs:
