Networking Windows 98SE with Windows2000

[blackgold]

I have three computers connected together using a router. Two of the
computers are Win98SE and one is Window2000. And my problem with Win98SE and
Win2000? My Win98SE can see another Win98SE computer, so there is no problem
here. But my Win98SE can also see the Win2000 computer but it cannot open
folders from the Win2000 computer. A window always opens asking for password
(to open the folder) which I have never set for it. In any case I tried with
all the passwords that I ever used but to no avail. Can anyone here help me
out? Thanks for your time.

Create a user on the Win2000 PC of the same name as the Windows 98 machine
name. Use a blank password if you like.

Create a username/password that is identical on both computers. Log into
the win98 computer using that username/password.

The best thing to do is to go ahead and create a username/password on the
Windows 2000 System. Then go ahead and share your resources. Then from the
Windows 98 client use that same username/password. That will allow you to
access the resources you need.

Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that file- and
printersharing is loaded. Furthermore on the W2K all useraccounts that are
used on other computers must exist.
