IPC$?

[Blair]

Hi All,

I have a problem connecting one of my Win 98 machines (#3) to my W2K pro
machine (#1). The W2K is visible in Network Neighbourhood on the 98, but
when I click on the icon, I get a message box prompting me for a password
for IPC$. I have another Win 98 machine (#2) which can access files on the
W2K, with no problem. Also, I can view and access files from #1 to #3. I've
set up sharing for everyone on the W2K drives that I want to share, and like
I said, #2 has no problem viewing and accessing the drives, folders and
files on #1. What am I missing as far as #3 is concerned? Thanks in advance
for any help.

Create an identical username/password on each computer. Log into #3 with
that username/password.
