cannot start NETLOGON service on standalone W2k pro

[Nik Johnson]

Hi

I am trying to network a win98 SE (all patches and hotfixes) machine to a
W2k (all SP's, all hotfixes) machine. All i want to do is allow the win98SE
machine to read and write to the w2k machine.
the problem i am having is the password problem ("You must supply a password
to make this connection: Resource: \\computername\IPC$") in this KB
article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;262916

this occurs because the NetLogon service is not started on the w2k machine.
ok - Fair enough. So i try and start the NetLogon service but it comes up
with these two little gems:

=====================================
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NETLOGON
Event Category: None
Event ID: 3095
Date: 16/05/2005
Time: 18:28:33
User: N/A
Computer: XXXXXX
Description:
This Windows NT computer is configured as a member of a workgroup, not as a
member of a domain. The Netlogon service does not need to run in this
configuration.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7024
Date: 16/05/2005
Time: 18:28:33
User: N/A
Computer: XXXXXX
Description:
The Net Logon service terminated with service-specific error 3095.
==========================================

which is where i run out of ideas. Everything i read says it is because
NetLogon is configured to start up automatically on startup, but this is not
so - its set to manual. The w2k machine is a standalone - no domain to log
on to so i use a workGroup.

so any ideas about how to start the netlogon service?


thanks in advance
Nik

The netlogon service does not need to run on a Win2000
PC - you can make a connection to its shares regardless.
However, you must supply valid credentials, since Win2000
is a secure operating system. Simply create some account/
password on the Win2000 PC, then use this same account/
password to log on at your Win9x PC.

I get a netlogon service is not running ont this machine" error message. I
cant even logon because of it. How can I get this service to start? I have
rebooted it but no luck. Safe mode doesnt even work.
