Access a Win2k Pro machine from win98

[Guest]

Hi, I have shared some files on a win2k pro machine. We have 2 windows 98SE
machines on the same network. When I try to access the win2k machine from the
windows 98 machines, a window appears and it has "Resourse: \\ab\ipc$, and a
space to enter a password. I have no idea about this password. Is there a way
to login to a win2k from windows98 without entering a password?

You can enable the guest account with nul password.

here is a "KB" that will address the issue. But to give you a summary, first
the user account that logs into 98 must have a password. next add the Win98
user name and password on the win2k box (setup a user account). This article
should address most issues for a Peer to Peer with win2k.
