Problem on home network

[Ken Krone]

I have a home network with with 2 omputers running Win2K and two running
Win98.

All "see" each other and with the Win2K computers, I can pull files with
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:

\\Jean\C

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 disks. I am the administrator.

Thanks
Ken K

Hi Ken,

Ensure that all of the computers have common Usernames and Passwords. For more
information see steps 3. and 4. in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
