Win98 will not connect.

[Howard Huntley]

I have a win98 laptop that will not connect to my win2k Pro desktop
system. The Win98 laptop will connect to my XP Pro desktop with no
problems. The Win98 system comes back with an error message stating
that "my password has expired" I can connect from the Win2K Pro to the
Win98 laptop with no problems. What can I do to connect from my Win98
to my Win2K Pro desktop.

Hi,

You need to create a user in Win2000 that is the same name that is used
to login to Win98 (click on Start and look at Logout - whatever name is
showing is the name you need to create in Win2000). The same is true
for the password. If the password is blank then leave it blank in
Win2000 also. Also, the access Win98 will have to Win2000 will depend
on the user group you assign in Win2000 (Power User will do fine).



Hope this helps,
