Accessing shared folder on windows 95 from Windows Vista Home Basi

[Guest]

Hi all,

There's a problem an accessing shared folders on windows 95 or windows 98
with Windows Vista Home Basic. If shared folder has a password (read
only/full access password) then accessing to that folder from a Windows Vista
Home Basic machine asking username and password. In Windows 95 or 98 only
password to define (username cannot definable)

From Windows XP machine accessing that folder,
username: Windows95MachineName\Guest (not editable)
password: whateverpassword
there's not a problem about accessing but same thing cannot be applicable
for Windows Vista Home Basic..

Can anyone help me?
(Sorry about bad english)

are you using simple shared folders on vista?

Hmmm windows 95... its been a long time.
I remember when I was networking them with XP, I had to add IPX network
protocol on the XP machines so I could get the network to work...

This was a long time ago.. so I am not 100% sure but see this screenshot I
made for you, on how to add the IPX to XP
I assume its the same with vista.. but I am not on vista at the moment so I
can try it
