Password/Permissions issue with Win2K

K

Ken K

I have a home network with with two computers running Win2K and two
running Win98.

All "see" each other and with the Win2K computers, I can pull files from
the Win98 computers , but I can't do the opposite (there is a request
for a password and none of my commonly used passwords seem to work).
When I try with a Win2K computer to access the other Win2K computer, I
receive a dialog box which looks like this:

Enter Network Password

Incorrect password or unknown username for:

\\Jen\C
( ;\\computer\drive )

Connect As: _______________
Password: _______________


How do I go about resetting things so that I don't need any passwords. I
have given permissions to Everyone under Sharing,Security for all of the
disk drives and I have administrator privileges.

Thanks
Ken K
