In our internal net we have only one PC with W2K and nobody can access to it.
Always appears the message asking for a password.

We don't know how to share this PC with the rest.

Thaks for your help

Set up a user on the Win 2k PC using the same username and password used to
log onto the computer you want to access the share on the Win 2k computer
from.

Using Explorer on the Win 2k computer, grant this user permission to access
the shared resource.

You'll want to create an account (in Users and Passwords) on the Windows
2000 machine with the username and password that you use to logon to the
other with. Then you'll need to share out the resource(s) with permissions
for those users. Also make sure they're all part of the same workgroup and
on the same subnet. Then you'll no longer be prompted for the IPC$ password
(Inter-process communication)

In a peer level workgroup, when you try to access resources on a Windows
NT/2000/XP/2003 machine, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 needs to authenticate the
user. If the user account doesn't exist in it's local account database, then
access will be denied.
