When trying to access my Apple Macbook from either of two Windows98 SE pcs
I get a "Enter Network Password" message that states "You must supply a
password to make this connection" with a Resource: \\ mac-address\IPC$. I
also have a Windows XP Pro on my wireless router home network that can
access the Mac with no problem. The two Windows 98 pcs can talk to each
other and the XP and the Mac can access all the Windows machines. I have
no passwords set up in any of my machines, so there is no password to be
had. I've Googled this password problem and it seems a lot of folks are
experiencing it as having a problem because of something in XP and have
come up with various workarounds. AS I said my Windows 98 and XP
communicate fine with each other, its when the Apple tries to set up a
connection to either of the 98s I get the message.
Is there an up-to-date explination and possibly a (simple) solution for
this problem?
TIA
