Connect from windows 98 computer to windows 2000

[mark hagadone]

I can't seem to connect to windows 2000 operating system
files . . I keep getting a request for a password to
access shares called IPC$ . . . I don't have a password.
How do I connect to the windows 2000 files? XP Operating
systems have no problem and there is no problem
connecting from windows 2000 to XP 98 and 95 operating
systems.

Dear sir

I also faced the similar problem in my small network whenever i want to
take print out from windows 98 operating system i was show the same template
asking for password for IPS$ sharing moreever this type of sharing for
administratative purposes and we dont alter these even we dont alter the
password also. i was go through many networking professional but i didn't get
the solution and somebody told me that's because of virus. atlast i
reinstall the windows 98. then i rid out of this problem but i want to know
the cause of this problem. if u get it please tell me.

Thanks

On the Windows 2000 computer you must go into the User tool in the Control
Panel and create a user with the same name (and password, if one is used)
that is used to log onto the Windows 98/95 computers.
