Cannot access W98 with XP Pro

[Guest]

Hi,

I've got a laptop XP Pro that I'am trying to connect to a stationary Win 98
SE. I'm linking them throu a D-Link wireless router (Win98 w cable, XP Pro
wireless).

The XP Pro is part of a domain at my work, so I've named my stationary
domain with the same name.

I'm using these Protocols:
W98: Client for MS networking
TCP/IP
File and Printer sharing
MS logon client (translated from swedish)

XP: Client for MS networking
TCP/IP
File and Printer sharing

From W98, I can access and get files from the XP Pro, but when I'm trying to
access the W98 (which I can see in the network) - there is a prompt for a
password when I log on as "W98name/Guest". I cannot alter the
user"W98name/Guest", and I cannot access the W98, because it doesn't accept
any password.

How can I access my W98 (where my printer and files are), without password
prompting?

Thx for any help!!!

I found out it was the "servername" of the W98, that was the problem. The
name had a "space" between two words. There is a bug in the XP, that doesnt
find servers with spaces in their names. I changed the name - and voila!!!!
It solved the problem. Thx anyway
