local network share

[Jordan Samulaitis]

Hello,

I have setup a new 98 machine under the workgroup Network.

Within this workgroup is another 2000 pro workstation, when I try connecting
to the 2000 Pro worksation it is asking for a //computername/IPC$ share
password.

Where can I find this IPC$ share password on the 2000 box? I have looked all
over, we do not know the IPC$ share password.

Thanks in Advance,
Jordan

To connect to a machine running 2K you need to remember that 2K unlike 98 is
security conscious and requries valid credentials to connect
to it, to do this

Create a user on the 2K box that has the same user name as the 98 box.

If when you click "Shutdown" there is something saying "Logoff....(no name)"
then no valid user is logged on to the 98 (you don't need to there is no
security on 98)the next time you are asked to log on, log on with "User"
password "User" (replace user with a valid name and password with a
password)

Now on the 2K box create the same user with the same details you just
created on the 98 box by going into control panel \ users and passwords.
Apply it and then try connecting through the network.
