Accessing Win2k machine via Win98 on network

[joe ruggeri]

I have a small office network of 3 computers: 1 running Win2000 Professional,
with a Lexmark printer attached; the other two are running Win98SE. The machine
running 2000 is new to the network, replacing a Win 98 machine that formerly ran
the printer, and the other 2 machines used this printer as a network printer.

I need to update the location of the network printer on the other two machines.
But ... When trying to access the Win2000 through Windows 98, it asks for the
password for the resource IPC$ (the new Win2000 box).

I never assigned a password and as a result, I can't access the Win2000 box.

What gives? Help!

Your problems will be resolved if you properly
identify yourself:

1. Create an account "JRuggeri" on the Win2000 PC.
2. Log on to the Win98 PC as "JRuggeri".

If unsure how to log on to a Win98 PC with an account
name, repost in a Win98 newsgroup.
